There is concern that part (e) of policy SCO is inconsistent with national planning policy and not as effective as it might be, because it does not clarify what is precisely meant or intended by the term 'measures'. We are also concerned about part (f) of the policy, as it does not clearly and unequivocally reinforce the delivery of part (e) of the policy. This in turn undermines the achievement of sustainable communities.
With regard to promoting healthy communities, paragraphs 58 and 69 of the NPPF advise that planning policies, decisions and design should aim to achieve safe and accessible environments where crime and disorder, and the fear of crime, do not undermine the quality of life or community cohesion.
