Welcome the objective behind this policy, though the mechanism for implementation needs to be adjusted.
New evidence could be presented not long after adoption that would leave the Council rethinking its approach and potentially be left with a document that is out of date. Preferable to include provisions within the policy that introduces additional flexibility e.g. as undertaken in Stratford recently.
Council should seek to include a similar approach as part of the Local Plan, which would be consistent with paragraph 182 of the NPPF, introducing an effective and positively prepared strategy.
