Respondent: Canal & River Trust

The objectives set out are generally positive, but the DPD lacks detail and clarity in identifying a strategy for helping to deliver them. Too much is descriptive, and too little is focussed on identifying clearly the ways in which new development should contribute towards achieving this aim or assisting in promoting and facilitating the use of the canal network as a multi-functional resource which can itself contribute towards the realisation of many objectives and aspirations set out in the Local Plan and national planning policy . We question whether the DPD can be considered to be positively prepared or effective.
