Respondent: Canal & River Trust

Policy CS1 repeats the requirements of Policy BE1 of the adopted Local Plan and adds little to identify particular considerations around design and layout that apply specifically to canalside locations.

We consider that Policy CS1 does not satisfy the requirements of NPPF Paragraph 16 c), d) and f). It has not been shaped by meaningful engagement with the Trust as operator of the canal, is ambiguous and lacking in clarity and does not serve a sufficiently clear purpose, containing unnecessary duplication of existing adopted policies. We question whether it can be regarded as being positively prepared, justified or effective.
