Object on grounds that CDC cannot demonstrate that Local Plan policies have been developed through effective, ongoing and constructive engagement with Prescribed Bodies; there are no up to date, published and agreed SOCGs with any Prescribed Bodies to support Pre-Submission Local Plan; KPC had issued multiple FOIs to CDC to determine the state of the SOCGs regarding Water Neutrality yet were rejected each time by CDC.

Object on grounds that needs to be locally distinctive to give a greater 'sense of place'; leaves out important designations; says nothing about water quality, water neutrality, nutrient neutrality or source protection zones; unrealistic - should recognise sustainable and active travel not possible in some areas, ie; Kirdford.

Object on grounds that no explanation or heading for three plan areas - unclear of purpose; unclear what is meant by local communities becoming more self-reliant - Kirdford has virtually no local infrastructure; locating 50 dwellings will not conserve and enhance Kirdford.

Objective needs to be clear that there are more designated sites than those listed - should include Ebernoe SAC and The Mens SAC. Inclusion of 'landscape character' at end reads as an afterthought, ineffective. Quantum of biodiversity net gains Plan is seeking to achieve should be set out here - query how protection and enhancement of natural environment, nature recovery, tree cover can be measured?

This Objective which states that housing should be located in ‘accessible neighbourhoods’ cannot be met in rural locations such as Kirdford. This objective clearly cannot be achieved by the Local Plan allocating 50 dwellings to Kirdford. The Housing Objective includes no mention of the amount of housing it is seeking to deliver, what tenure, what location and when. This should be clearly set out. The inclusion of a section on Design in this section makes it unclear and confusing compared with Objective 6 (Design and Heritage – Ensuring Beautiful Places).

This Objective should state the amount of jobs / employment floorspace the Local Plan is seeking to achieve, and it should be much clearer about the objectives for employment in villages and rural areas.

A key aspect of this Objective is improving ‘health indicators’ and ‘life expectancy’ yet the Objective does not say what these indicators are or what the goal is for increasing life expectancy. The objective should be much clearer about these.

This objective states that the National Design Code will be supplemented by local design codes. Yet the Local
Plan’s Policy D1 (Design Principles) says nothing about Design Codes being used. Although the title of this Objective includes ‘Heritage’ the actual text provides no further detail about what the Local Plan’s Objectives are in relation to Heritage – this is a clear omission and needs to be rectified through modifications.

Whilst working with infrastructure providers is clearly important this should not be the overall objective – the overall objective should be to identify and deliver the infrastructure required to deliver the spatial strategy. What are the key measurable deliverables for infrastructure, when will they be delivered and for what purpose?
