Development Management DPD Preferred Policy Options Document
Representation ID: 28285
Received: 08/02/2012
Respondent: Barratt Eastern Counties
Agent: Kember Loudon Williams Ltd
Policy CP1 of the Core Strategy explains that "the Essex Design Guide will help provide guidance without being overly prescriptive." Draft Policy DM1 reflects this in its policy by explaining that schemes should "have regard to the guidance in Essex Design."
The supporting text should explain that Essex Design is not SPD as it has not been subject to the consultation requirements of PPS12. It should be explained that Essex Design is useful contextual advice but that it is not a prescriptive piece of policy. This would ensure that the draft Policy ties in with Core Strategy CP1.
