Interim Sustainability Appraisal
Representation ID: 14099

I would query the sustainability of this Local Plan in delivering its vision. The existing Local Plan is subject to its statutory Local Plan Policies being ignored during the planning process, including those for delivering sustainable housing numbers, highway safety, flood risk as they can be overridden by the Guidelines from the National Policy Plan Framework (NPPF). For example, the 5-year land supply requirement. It seems the GNLP will require a significant amount of expenditure and time to be delivered yet it will be a document that is quite flimsy on implementation if challenged against the NPPF.
