Policy CS11 in the adopted plan is not fit for purpose and needs radical review. It is not compliant with current government policy. Amongst other concerns we consider that ;
* the implied requirement to show a lack of existing availability is unacceptable;
* the requirement to be within 1km of services is unrealistic and unduly restrictive;
* the need for sites to be large enough to accommodate business activities is unnecessary.
There is also a desperate need for a more pro-active approach to site provision.
