Yes. Paragraph 153 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) states that each local planning authority should produce a Local Plan for its area and that this can be reviewed in whole or in part to respond flexibly to changing circumstances. Furthermore, the Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) identifies that for plans to remain effective, they need to be kept upto-date. The PPG highlights that policies will age at different rates depending upon local circumstances and that most local plans are likely to require updating in whole or in part at least every five years.
Overall Gallagher Estates support the partial review of the existing Core Strategy, subject to the above being achieved.
