Representation Summary:

Please see accompanying Representations Report Paragraphs 3.16 – 3.34

For the reasons outlined within these and earlier representations the approach to the Plan for Submission Local Plan 2040 does not provide for a justified appropriate spatial strategy with reference to NPPF2021 paragraph 20 and specifically the requirement for strategic policies to provide for social and community infrastructure. In terms of MAT’s interests this relates specifically to addressing the required expansion of Lincroft Academy, which was rendered incapable of being addressed under the approach to the Local Plan 2030.
