Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Not specified
Policy BX1(i) is too ambiguous and therefore unsound because it is not as effective as the current Rother District Local Plan (RDLP) which states: BX1(i) "to develop its residential, employment, shopping and service centre functions". There is no mention of 'shopping' in either BX1(i) or BX1(vi) when talking about Bexhill's function. It therefore lacks an overall vision for the town. It does not comply with current local, regional and national policies, particularly the Government's presumption in favour of sustainable development in the forthcoming National Planning Policy Framework.
