It is important that the Council do not rely on Local Plan policy (as indicated at paragraph 10.33) but re-evaluate policy previously adopted to ensure that the evidence base is up to date and policy therefore based on current circumstances. Given the present economic situation it is important that an evaluation of viability is carried out in line with PPS3 guidance to ensure that any target thresholds are not onerous and allow for negotiation and it is therefore strongly recommended that any thresholds are clearly supported by evidence.
