Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Policy DS20 is considered unsound as it is neither justified nor the most appropriate strategy when considered against the reasonable alternatives, furthermore it has not been prepared in accordance with the Duty to Co-operate. It is therefore not legally compliant.

It is clear from this approach that if it is shown that significant housing needs arising outside of the Distirct should be met within its administrative area, the Council is relying upon a review of the Local Plan. This will further delay the provision of new homes which it is already apparent will be required. They should be planned for now rather than deferred.
