Policy DS16 Sub-Regional Employment Site is unsound, it contravenes the NPPF (National Planning Policy Framework); there has been no consultation with the local community and other stakeholders concerning the removal of this land from Green Belt; the Sub-Regional Employment Site is NOT the most appropriate strategy when considered against reasonable alternatives.
There is neither objectively assessed need for the policy nor any consideration against reasonable alternatives subject to sustainability appraisals. The policy should be based upon evidence including the production of a sub-regional strategy. The evidence should not be prepared retrospectively in an attempt to justify the plan.
