The Plan is not legally compliant because it:
? does not demonstrate sufficient planning for the sustainability appraisal (including consultation with the statutory environment consultation bodies)
? does not identify significant cross boundary and inter-authority issues
? does not ensure that the plan rests on a credible evidence base
The Plan is not sound because:
? It is not positively prepared ? it does not provide an acceptable strategy because the area?s objectively assessed needs are incorrect
? It is not justified ? it is not an appropriate strategy, does not take into account the reasonable alternatives, and is not based on proportionate evidence
? It is not effective ? there is no evidence to support the notion that it is deliverable over the plan period
The Plan is not compliant with the duty to Co-operate because:
? It does not demonstrate that social, environmental and economic issues have been addressed effectively by working with other local planning authorities beyond the Warrington administrative boundaries.
