Policy BX1(iii) is unsound because it has weakened the same point stated in RDLP BX1(ii) which states: "to provide for both the growth of local firms and appropriate inward investment in order to improve the range of job opportunities for local people as well as to ensure that residential development is sustainable". There is no mention of 'sustainability' within Policy BX1(iii) of the Core Strategy. It is therefore contrary to the Government's presumption in favour of sustainable development in the forthcoming National Planning Policy Framework.
