sound; it should be consistent with national policy, be supported by evidence and
take the views of local people into account. Each plan is subject to a public examination
in front of an independent Inspector who plays an important role in examining plans
impartially to ensure that they are legally compliant and sound. The National Planning
Policy Framework (NPPF) sets out that local authorities should assess the size, type
and tenure of housing needed for different groups in the community, including older
people and people with disabilities, and reflect this in their local plan.</p>
