Plan has a number of internal inconsistencies, the most glaring of which is the proposed provision of new retail facilities while expressing the need to retain and develop the retail elements of the town centres, and the express mention of limiting development in existing retail parks for this purpose.
Plan makes assumptions about provision of services which are not within power of either Council or Developers to ensure. Will shops in new areas be profitable enough to attract retailers? Will necessary increase in public transport be financially viable? In the light of recent reports will there be sufficient doctors to staff a medical centre - and will it too be financially sustainable?
