Guidance Note – Definition of Legal Compliance/Soundness

Legal Compliance

To be legally compliant:

  • The DPD in question should be within the current Local Development Scheme (LDS) and the key stages should have been followed. The LDS is effectively a programme of work prepared by the Local Planning Authority (LPA), setting out the Local Development Documents it proposes to produce over a three year period. It will set out the key stages in the production of any DPDs which the LPA propose to bring forward for independent examination. If the DPD is not in the current LDS it should not have been published for representation. The LDS should be on the LPA’s website and available at their main offices.
  • The process of community involvement for the DPD in question should be in general accordance with the LPA’s Statement of Community Involvement (where one exists). The Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) is a document which sets out a LPA’s strategy for involving the community in the preparation and revision of documents (including DPDs) and the consideration of planning applications.
  • The DPD should comply with the Town and County Planning (Local Development) (England Regulations) 2004 (as amended). On Publication, the LPA must publish the documents prescribed in the regulations, and make them available at their principal offices and their website. The LPA must also place local advertisements and notify the DPD bodies (as set out in the regulations) and any persons who have requested to be notified.
  • The LPA is required to provide a Sustainability Appraisal Report when they publish a DPD. This should identify the process by which the Sustainability Appraisal has been carried out, and the baseline information used to inform the process and the outcomes of that process. Sustainability Appraisal is a tool for appraising policies to ensure they reflect social, environmental, and economic factors.
  • The DPD should have regard to national policy, in particular the National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework).
  • The DPD must have regard to any Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS) for its area (i.e. county and district). The SCS is usually prepared by the Local Strategic Partnership which is representative of a range of interests in the LPA’s area. The SCS is subject to consultation but not to an independent examination

Soundness

To be sound a DPD should be:

  • Positively prepared - the plan 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 reasonable alternatives, based on proportionate evidence.
  • Effective - the plan should be deliverable over its period and 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 NPPF.
