Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

This objection should be read conjunction with our objections to the 'Duty to Co-operate' . The NPPF requires that the Local Plan be positively prepared and to meet the fully objectively assessed housing needs not only for the District but also any unmet housing need from adjoining Districts. It is apparent that the Council anticipates that it will have to meet unmet housing needs from adjoining Districts (probably Coventry) in the future. In such circumstances, the Local Plan should be planning for this eventuality now and not to delay until a Local Plan review. Such an approach is contrary to the advice in the NPPF which seeks that Local Plans are 'positively prepared ' and ensure that Local Plan ' boost the supply of housing'.
