The natural environment and the built environment are underplayed in Section 10. The Local Plan principles (i) to (xiv) should be included in the LDF with SSSIs added to principle (vi). There is no reference to historic towns and conservation areas; there should be specific inclusion of best practice conservation area management principles in the LDF.
The need for measures to address environmental issues such as water and energy conservation and waste recycling are not adequately featured in the strategy principles, though their importance at the national level is acknowledged by citing PPS1 on page 19.
