1. INTRODUCTION
SPD lacks measure to achieve comprehensive and collaborative approach.

There is suitable emphasis in the SPD on a comprehensive and collaborative approach including a framework that "transcends land ownership boundaries" and to "equalising and apportioning costs between landowners". However, the SPD lacks clear measures to achieve this.

The emphasis on comprehensive development is firmly established in the parent local Plan Policy (SS/6). It is the role of the SPD to define how it is to be achieved. It is a crucial test of the efficacy of the SPD that it provides the means to co-ordinate the two separate applications by RLW Estates and U&C that are currently before the Council for joint consideration.

SPD must go further than this consultation draft in specifying binding and enforceable provisions to ensure co-ordinated and comprehensive development is achieved.

Given the importance of the policy requirement for comprehensive development, the SPD cannot ignore the threat of ransom.
