Sustainability Appraisal of the Core Strategy

Representation ID: 1711

Received: 08/07/2008

Representation Summary:

What we propose is the matrix laid out in the SA is used to allow better transparency in measurement & enforcement of different, often conflicting, priorities within the strategy. This matrix assesses each PA against a wide range of measurable factors. Every year this needs to be revisited to ensure that dwelling space is not outstripping education & health infrastructure. it also needs to be informed by the reasons for rejecting proposals & explain where & why compromises have been made. (Planning cannot allow precedent to open up second rate development;compromise needs to be restrained within limits). Such appraisal needs ot be tied into other community structures such as LSP & AMBs.
