Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Policy is unsound as it is not justified or consistent with national policy.

It would appear from the Council’s evidence that there may be highway capacity to meet housing needs in full. Without further evidence to support the position put forward in policy H1 the Council will need to allocate additional sites to ensure that housing needs are met in full, and the plan is sound. The Council will also need to review their approach to sites in the AONB to ensure that proper consideration is given to these sites and provide evidence as to whether or not they will ensure at least 10% of all homes will come forward on small sites.
