Not consistent with NPPF paragraph 85. NPPF requires that in the circumstances described (i.e. development meeting business/community needs beyond existing settlements) it is IMPORTANT to ensure sensitivity to surroundings, does not have an unacceptable impact on roads etc. The Local Plan modifies this requirement in its use of the word ESSENTIAL rather than important.
Revise use of word 'essential' in this paragraph to 'important' in alignment with the NPPF para 85
