Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

The document lacks a coherent and comprehensive Spatial Vision and set of objectives for the District and how it will evolve to 2025/6, which in turn should be articulated by a coherent Spatial Strategy. By creating topic based visions and objectives the document is not a spatial plan and as such it is unclear how communities such as Hockley will develop as sustainable communities over the plan period. The plan is unsound as its approach is inconsistent with national policy in PPS12 and as such will be not effective in securing the plan's objectives.
