I move amendment No. 13:

In page 6, between lines 8 and 9, to insert the following: "(ea) details of the manner in which the local development plan or county development plan of the local authority in which the site is located is reflected in the proposed development;".

This would require that any application for a large-scale residential development include specific local objectives, essentially, in what it must set out in adhering to the development plan. It would also set out in general how it is complying with the county development plan in the local authority area in which the proposed development is taking place.
