Development and Site Allocations (DaSA) Local Plan - Options and Preferred Options

Representation ID: 23120

Received: 16/02/2017

Respondent: Town and Country Planning Solutions

Representation Summary:

The Plan is far too long and over-prescriptive and should not introduce any land use policy that duplicates the requirements or control achievable through the separate Building Regulations procedure. The requirement of a "letter of intent" is meaningless and will simply add unnecessarily to the planning application validation requirement. Draft Policy DRM1 (Water Efficiency) should be deleted as not reasonably necessary as it could not form the basis for refusing any planning application.
