These must be supported by strong policies, and expert knowledge within RCC Planning.

We have selected Object as whilst we in fact support the thrust and majority of bullet points listed, the provision of high quality, sustainable housing - which we have a track record of delivering in Rutland and elsewhere locally, is rarely "low cost". That element is problematic to deliver when the other, numerous and admirable objectives are factored in - innovative design, low carbon, climate resilient, locally distinctive, safe, green, nature-based are supported, but have viability implications for general housing delivery if the other objective is low cost.

Support and comments noted. The Local Plan acknowledges that a key consideration for many of its policies is the impact they have on the viability of new developments. It is intended that further work to update the cost evidence will be undertaken to inform the next stage of the local plan. This will build on the Whole Plan Viability Assessment (2023) and will inform the policies at the next stage of the local plan. Any changes to the draft policies arising from consultation responses and/or new evidence will be consulted on through the Reg 19 consultation.

Again high ideals which RCC must be held to account which are unlikely to be achieved at Low Cost

Mostly good.
Not sure why all new design needs to be innovative?
Not sure why it all needs to be low cost?
Some needs to be low cost, but I'd say "good value" is much better than "low cost" if you want to say "all new development needs to be........."

Support noted. Viability is a key part of determining whether the Local Plan is sound. Change not required.

High quality is more important than low cost

Comment noted. Viability is a key part of determining whether the Local Plan is sound and so high quality development may not always be deliverable. Change not required.

Overall, the principles of the policies within Chapter 3 of the emerging Local Plan are therefore supported, but we provide specific comment on the following:

This strategic objective is supported in principle but highlight that there is a risk of inherent conflict in delivering development that responds to its local character with innovation and delivering cleaner, greener and safer places. Such an example for this lies in the design and delivery of highways within schemes and the conflict between good urban design principles and the desire for a standardised road network with a priority for parking. This objective will need to be carefully considered in conjunction with the associated development management policies and the Rutland Design Guide SPD to ensure it can be applied in an effective manner once adopted
