Legally compliant? Yes
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Yes
Support is offered to this policy and its role in encouraging sound new developments, but the Estate remains concerned that compliance is too easily claimed by developers without demonstrable evidence.
The plan should adopt a logical, common sense approach to compliance, judging accessibility and sustainability as would a ‘man in the street’ – the fact a development might be physically close, within reasonable walking distance of services, does not mean it will encourage people out of their cars when doing the weekly shop.
The Plan must be prepared to require minimum standards of provision and evidence of compliance from developers that reflect the individual requirements and consequences of the site and development form.
