The key objection is the lack of inclusion of community uses alongside employment in policies.

The plan is deficient in dealing with community uses.

Policies should reflect NPPF 85 to allow community facilities sometimes outside settlement boundaries.

Community uses must be included as a suitable option within the countryside.

Also, weight should be given to the sensitive expansion of existing facilities within the countryside sensitive in scale and to its surroundings.


The failure of the Reg 19 policies to support community uses alongside employment in rural areas fly against the objectives of NPPF 93.

Policy SS9 focuses on non-residential development in rural areas, similar to Policy E4. It defines how development cannot be reasonably accommodated within or adjoining town and village limits. The policy allows new employment growth, including rural enterprise that creates local employment opportunities and supports the local economy. However, the policy is overly restrictive in terms of the type of new development allowed and the circumstances in which it would be permitted. The policy requires an assessment of buildings/sites across the county to determine suitable alternative premises, which is unlikely for most rural enterprises. The policy goes beyond the requirements of the National Planning Policy (NPPF) and needs to be amended to be "Sound" and consistent with National Policy.
