The Plan does not include a management summary or a clear strategic vision for Rutland's future. Despite initial community feedback on the Regulation 18 version, there has been minimal consultation regarding changes leading to the Regulation 19 version. Many policies, including those on environmental issues, are presented with subjective caveats, leading to potential misinterpretations. Certain policies, particularly Policy SS3, contradict sustainable development principles and fail to address past planning failures. The Plan mentions the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) but lacks specific references and guidance on its application in Rutland.

We agree with the policy notes accompanying SS1 and SS3 which are reproduced in sections 2 (i) and 2 (ii) above. Thus we see that it is proposed to remove planned
limits of development surrounding the periphery of the smallest villages and hamlets because they are not sustainable locations for housing growth.

The conditions or “provisos” (a) to (g) in Policy SS3 will enable developers to make planning applications and perhaps also to successfully appeal against Local Planning
Authority refusals given the vagueness and difficulty in determination of these largely subjective conditions.

Clipsham Parish Meeting object to this policy and to all references in the text to it

So far as we are aware there is no acknowledged need in Rutland for either one of these
sites to be developed, let alone both of them. There is no evidence in the Regulation 19 Plan
that the Planning Authority has carried out any work to justify and explain the need for
these developments in Rutland

Observations Concerning Table 3 of Policy H1
The commitments and completions at 31st March 2023 of 1516 dwellings already granted planning permission during the first two years of the plan but consider that relying upon the proposed development of Stamford North to provide for over one half of the total remaining housing requirement in Rutland up to 2041, carries some risks.

This policy is incapable of implementation because of its subjectivity and vagueness. It clearly presents a presumption in favour of development.

This policy means there is a presumption in favour of development on Local Wildlife Sites, UK priority habitats, locally important habitats and other landscape features

There is clearly a conflict between these two paragraphs. The use of the words “major development” in the first paragraph is clearly incorrect and misleading
because BNG requires virtually all new development to contribute towards the delivery of measurable net gains

his policy provides a presumption in favour of development subject to the development not having an adverse impact upon a number of subjective and vaguely defined principles.
