Duty to co-operate? No

We do not consider that the Borough has adequately demonstrated that it has met the Duty to Cooperate. The requirements of the Duty, as explained by the NPPF and Planning Practice Guidance, are for key issues to be considered and addressed during plan-making, and for clear outcomes to be reflected in policy. There is limited evidence to demonstrate that this has happened. There is, however, clear evidence to demonstrate that key issues have been deferred, and that Policies provide only an interim policy position pending further discussions. Neither situation demonstrates that the Duty to Cooperate has been met.
