Respondent: Essex County Council

Essex County Council fully supports the preparation of the Development Management DPD, and the revisions incorporating the NPPF. The Plan will provide more detailed guidance and flexibility to assist the process of securing high quality sustainable development to meet the needs of the community, in support of the adotped Core Strategy; strategic vision and adopted Supplementary Planning Documents.

The positive approach to review the policies as a whole for their viability and impact when considering planning applications is supported.

The county council considers the Revised Proposed Submission Document to be "sound" and welcomes the revisions which incorporate the majority of our previous comments dated 19 April 2011. Our previous comments were to assist the future use and application of the Plan and the need for a further reflection on a number of limited matters.

DM2(ii) - The supporting text and its subsequent inclusion with the policy DM2 and criteria (ii) is welcomed and supported. This is a positive amendment to promote the importance of the use of renewable materials to reduce the demand for and use of minerals in construction, consistent with the waste hierarchy and the emerging Essex and southend on Sea Waste Development Document.

Note the supporting text has been changed to address ECC previous comment, however the policy has not been amended to include the suggested third measure to the first paragraph.

The suggested measure is still considered to be appropriate to proactively support the natural areas.
