Councils can only adopt a plan that is 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> answering member constituency North East Derbyshire answering member printed Lee Rowley grouped question UIN 7551 question first answered 12/01/2024 14:35:02 answering member 4652 label Biography information for Lee Rowley
