What should be considered when responding to the Local Plan review
Hounslow is required to submit the Local Plan review to the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government for an Independent Examination.
This process involves an independent inspector, appointed by the Secretary of State, whose role in the examination process is to assess whether the Local Plan reviews has been prepared in accordance with:
- Duty to Cooperate (a duty to try and agree approaches with key public sector bodies on strategic cross boundary matters)
- legal and procedural requirements
- whether it is ‘sound’
As part of this Independent Examination the following criteria will be used for the policies in the draft Local Plan review:
| Positively Prepared | The Local Plan reviews should be prepared based on a strategy which seeks to meet objectively assessed development and infrastructure requirements, including unmet requirements from neighbouring authorities where it is reasonable to do so and consistent with achieving sustainable development. |
| Justified | The plan should be the most appropriate strategy, when considered against the reasonable alternatives, based on proportionate evidence. |
| Effective | The plan should be deliverable over its period based on effective joint working on cross-boundary strategic priorities. |
| Consistent with National Policy | The plan should enable the delivery of sustainable development in accordance with the policies in the National Planning Policy Framework and London Plan |
