The potential 'feasibility' or 'viability' loophole should be removed or at least drastically redrafted to reflect NPPF policy and guidelines (para 2 of draft policy). These clearly indicate that lack of profitability on a scheme will primarily require adjustment to land purchase value not to the delivery of key Plan policies - of which this DPD will be a top priority for the foreseeable future. And that any issues of viability must be raised at or before a planning application is submitted.
Is gas ruled out by 7.3? Can it be made less ambiguous (see fuller comment in 4.1)
