As above, all potential sites should be tested against the sustainability criteria and the PPS25 Sequential Test. For this reason, we would prefer to see allocations, which will enable these processes to be more easily carried out.
At present the document does not consider pollution prevention. It will need to be ensured that all development does not pose a threat to the natural environment during construction stage or during occupation.
Thank you for the consultation on the above document. At this stage we have outlined some general principles and key issues that we feel should be included and addressed in the Core Strategy.
I hope this information is of use to you. If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.
