Received: 22/10/2009

Respondent: Mr Brian Guyett

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

PPS12 4.9 states "The infrastructure planning process should identify, as far as possible: infrastructure needs and costs". Neither needs nor, especially, costs have been identified and the Core Strategy is therefore unsound.

The Core Strategy proposes to fund infrastructure improvements through use of Standard Charges. However, no detail is provided and no attempt made to identify the likely scale of such charges. It is therefore unclear if use of Standard Charges is financially viable.
