Core Strategy Preferred Approaches
Representation ID: 1624
Received: 07/07/2008
Representation Summary:
This policy approach refers to the protection of a strategic gap. The South East Plan Panels Report which supports the designation of gaps, is currently being considered & the views of the Secretary of State will be published in due course. Notwithstanding this, national guidance, particularly those in para 24 & 25 of PPS7 is that there should be a need for rigid local designations. In order to ensure consistency with national policy planning (test 4b) you will need to identify clearly what the purpose of these designations is & to justify why there are not other means that could provide the necessary protection.
