Innogy also supports the proposed approach to reviewing renewable energy policy(ies) and SPG as set out in Topic Paper 9.
The RLDP should also reflect changes to national policy (particularly PPW and the forthcoming NDF) and changes to the consenting regime at national level, including the introduction of the developments of national significance(DNS) process for projects >10MW.

BP37 needs to go much further than simply avoiding the sterilisation of aggregate resources. It should provide information regards ensuring the sustainable management of minerals resources to meet the Council's growth aspirations. As mentioned in the Consultation Paper the Council is required to ensure an adequate supply of minerals is maintained. This must be done to accord with PPWv10, the RTS and such information as the AM Surveys and the documentation produced by the NWRAWP. There is also an element of confusion arising from the notion that terms such as "aggregate" and "minerals" and also "reserves" and resources are interchangeable.

Noted. BP37 will be more detailed on the lines suggested. The draft document covers the following headings; policy context, findings from LDP AMR monitoring process, contextual changes, safeguarding, mineral supply, buffer zones, monitoring and cross border issues.

Although we are supportive of Housing being included within Strategic Objective 2 we are particularly concerned about the suggestion that 'There is a need to ensure that the growth level applied in the RLDP takes into account the capacity of the home building industry to deliver'. This suggests that the only reason the previous plan has not delivered at the rate expected is because of developer capacity which is clearly not the case and has not be evidenced in the plans supporting documents.
We consider that Housing is cross-cutting and sits across a number of the other Objectives.

Noted. The housing growth level is informed by a number of issues such as population projections, employment growth projections, amount of affordable housing needed as well as looking at past completion rates and the capacity of house building sector.

Evidence suggests mixed land use, higher population densities and highly connected street layouts are associated with a greater likelihood of walking, between 25% and 100%.

To achieve the vision, and the intention of the WBFG there is a need to support behaviour change techniques in the population to encourage and support usage of the active travel infrastructure.
