Bellway supports outcome of HRA. Some confusion Table 1 which references withdrawn Local Plans and Draft Reg 18 Local Plans. This questions how reliable the dataset used by the HRA is, considering that full weight cannot be attributed to draft Reg 18 Plans. Bellway appreciate that the HRA declares that the pre-submission plan supports a reduction in atmospheric pollution. Within Appendix A of HRA, it is considered that draft Policy H2 (incorporating Policies A4 and A5) has the potential for likely significant effects. Despite this, the HRA explains that the pre-submission plan contains positive measures that aim to mitigate or avoid the likelihood of significant adverse effects from reduced air quality and that policies NE21, T2, T3, NE1 form a protective framework to help reduce atmosphere pollution.
Bellway consider the draft HRA to be robust.
