It fails to comply with NPPF paragraph 54.
It is an isolated modification to the Strategy. It fails to comply with the unmodified Strategy policy and also the unmodified supporting text. MOD 7.11 would consequently produce a Plan which is internally inconsistent and therefore unsound.
The paragraph itself in its modified form is internally incoherent. The original text is compliant with the NPPF by providing for limited growth in the villages reflective of individual settlement needs. This is diametrically opposed to the proposed text insertion to maximise growth in the villages, for reasons unrelated to local needs.
The additional text to this paragraph is unsound, is an isolated modification to the Local Plan Strategy for villages and should be deleted.
Firstly it fails to comply with NPPF paragraph 54 which states the planning of housing development in the rural areas should be reflective of local needs.
Secondly, it is an isolated modification to the Strategy. It fails to comply with the unmodified Strategy policy and also the unmodified supporting text. MOD 7.11 would consequently produce a Plan which is internally inconsistent and therefore unsound.
Thirdly, the paragraph itself in its modified form is internally incoherent. The original text is compliant with the NPPF by providing for limited growth in the villages reflective of individual settlement needs. This is diametrically opposed to the proposed text insertion to maximise growth in the villages, for reasons unrelated to local needs, to contribute to the modified district-wide unit figure of 5700.
