Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

The proposed wording of MM7 represents an improved policy position over that set out in the submission Core Strategy. However, it remains our view that a fully criteria-based approach, with an up-to-date SHMA as the first priority, would make for a more effective policy. In any event, the final paragraph of the policy should recognise that up-to-date evidence may superseded the affordable housing position statement where that is not up-to-date, thereby ensuring that the policy is effective.

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

The Policy is unsound on the basis that it does not provide for effective policy consistent with the evidence. Policy should be clarified in relation to maximum affordable housing provision; the application of CIL Regulations 122 and 123. The policy remains unsound with regard to the level of specificity for land uses and their disposition.

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

The proposed text asserts that infrastructure is justified without any reference to the evidence presented by planning applications. The text is also flawed insofar as it is inconsistent with other changes proposed by the Council and with the evidence available.
