Tests of Soundness Sample Clauses

Tests of Soundness. A major emphasis of the new development plan system is on the production of a “sound” plan as tested at Independent Examination. The Welsh Assembly and the Planning Inspectorate have published guidance on what this means and the tests involved (see “A guide to the examination of Local Development Plans”, Planning Inspectorate Wales). A “sound” plan is one which is considered to have been prepared with “good judgement and is able to be trusted”. The LDP in both its policy content and the process of its production must pass the tests of “soundness”. Preparation of the LDP in accordance with the published DA is one of the tests of soundness. Fundamentally, a sound plan will be one which: has been prepared correctly in accordance with the statutory requirements; is founded on a robust and credible evidence base; has been developed with continuous community involvement; demonstrates policy integration; and contributes to the achievement of sustainable development.

Tests of Soundness. 2.7.1 The Joint LDP must pass the ‘soundness’ test. Preparing the Joint LDP in accordance with the published DA is one of the soundness tests. Crucially, a sound plan will be a plan that: has been properly prepared in accordance with statutory requirements; based on sound and credible evidence and has been developed with continuous contribution by the community; shows policy integration and contributes towards ensuring sustainable development. 2.7.2 The Inspector will undertake a Public Examination that will decide whether or not the Joint LDP is robust. The Planning Inspectorate has published guidelines on the matter, namely 'A Guide to the Examination of Local Development Plans' and it can be seen on the Planning Inspectorate website (xxx.xxxx.xxx.xx). The soundness tests are listed, for information, in Appendix 5 of this DA.

Tests of Soundness. 1.9.1. The Planning and Compulsory Xxxxxxxx Xxx 0000 requires that a LDP is subject to an independent examination, to ensure that the Plan is ‘sound’. The Revised LDP will be submitted to the Welsh Government, who will appoint an independent Inspector to examine the Plan. The Inspector will determine whether the Plan has been produced in accordance with the legal and regulatory requirements and whether it conforms to the Community Involvement Scheme. 1.9.2. The Inspector will further assess whether the Plan meets the preparation requirements and the three soundness tests, which are: • Does the plan fit? – Is it consistent with all other plans? • Is the plan appropriate? – Does the plan address the issues of the area? • Will the plan deliver? – Will the plan be effective? 1.9.3. There is a fundamental need for a strong evidence base and consultation process. It is also essential to demonstrate the rationale behind the Plan’s policies and to assess the outcomes. The conclusions drawn by the Inspector in the final report will be binding on the LPA. Unless the Welsh Government intervene, the LPA must accept the changes and accordingly seek to adopt the Revised Plan at full Council.

Tests of Soundness. ‘Soundness’ is an integral part of the LDP system and is an important principle by which it may be demonstrated as to whether the LDP shows good judgement and is able to be trusted. If the revised LDP is found not to be sound then the Welsh Government could require the Council to take necessary action to remedy the situation. This may involve returning to the very early stages of plan preparation thereby causing considerable delay in the preparation of the plan.

Tests of Soundness. The Council will only place on deposit and subsequently submit for examination a replacement deposit LDP which it considers to be “sound”.

Tests of Soundness. What are the Tests of Soundness? When are the Tests of Soundness used? What are the tests? Test 1: Does the plan fit? (i.e. is it clear that the LDP is consistent with other plans?) Test 2: Is the plan appropriate? (i.e. is the plan appropriate for the area in the light of the evidence?) Test 3: Will the plan deliver? (i.e. is it likely to be effective?)
Sample 1
Tests of Soundness. 1.4.1 The LDP must pass the “soundness” test, that is, IACC must ensure that the Plan is prepared correctly and meets the 3 soundness tests as laid out in the Development Plans Manual 3 (March 2020). These are: • whether the Plan is suitable? (Is the LDP clearly consistent with other plans?) • is the Plan appropriate? (Is the plan appropriate for the area considering the evidence?) • will the Plan Deliver? (Is the plan appropriate for the area considering the evidence?) An Inspector, appointed by Welsh Government/Planning and Environmental Decisions Wales (PEDW), will preside over the Plan’s Examination in Public to determine its soundness or otherwise. Further information in this regard is provided in Appendix 1 of this Agreement.
