COMMENT

The list at para 4.8 provides a useful summary of many of the issues facing the District. However, this section of the Local Plan would benefit from a description of the implications of the changing population structure and the latest household projections as the two issues clearly have a significant bearing upon the direction of the emerging Plan.

We also believe that the Council should consider restructuring this section of the plan so that it sets out, in addition to issues, the problems and challenges facing the District, together with identified opportunities. Regarding the latter, the Council identifies 'opportunities' at para 4.8 as something which the local plan should also address but currently provides no information on what these opportunities are.
