Planning policy must be consistent with the principles set out within the Framework. Each policy should "plan" positively for development; be justified; effective; and consistent with the Framework. If any policy that is not compliant with one of these four tests, it cannot be considered sound (see the Framework).

The requirement to demonstrate a facility is genuinely redundant is too vague. The 12 month marketing requirement is too long, 6 weeks would be more appropriate for a public house. No consideration has been given to the negative impact on the community, employment provision or sustainability through sites remaining redundant for 12 months. The policy is not consistent with the policy in the NPPF which states that planning should not act as an impediment to sustainable growth.
