Why you consider the Draft Local Plan is not legally compliant or is unsound or fails to comply with the duty to co-operate

Without appropriate acknowledgement of the National Grid assets present within the site, these policies should not be considered effective as they cannot be delivered as proposed; unencumbered by the constraints posed by the presence of National Grid infrastructure.

Modification if applicable

Development will be required to provide a strategy for responding to the National Grid overhead transmission lines present within the site which demonstrates how the National Grid Design Guide and Principles have been applied at the masterplanning stage and how the impact of the assets has been reduced through good design.

Summary of comments

Policy amendment requested.
