Appendix F sets out our full concerns. In summary, the SA has not considered the spatial strategy actually set out in the Local Plan. An option has been assessed which the Council consider to be close to the spatial strategy chosen, but they are different. It appears that Spatial Option 1, the option most closely aligned with the spatial strategy in the Local Plan, has been scored unjustly positively in some areas, and Spatial Option 2 has been scored more poorly. The SA prepared alongside the emerging Local Plan does not provide the necessary justification of the proposed spatial strategy.
The SA requires updating to accurately score/ assess the spatial options and then review whether the strategy proposed is suitable and reasons for rejection (if still applicable). A direct assessment of the spatial option proposed is required.
