Section 4. Assessment of RBC’s <strong>Local</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> against <strong>the</strong> SA Framework and Consideration<br />

of Alternatives<br />

Link between <strong>the</strong> SCS and LDF<br />

4.1 As stated in Section 2, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Local</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> is produced within and must have regard to an existing and<br />

changing and complex policy, legislative and economic environment policy framework. It is vital that<br />

<strong>the</strong> plan addresses local priorities and concerns, whilst being able to demonstrate consistency with,<br />

and where appropriate to make contributions to, <strong>the</strong> aims and objectives of <strong>the</strong> wider range of policies,<br />

strategies, and laws.<br />

4.2 The most important relationship <strong>the</strong> <strong>Local</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> has is with <strong>the</strong> SCS, as defined by paragraph 4.34 of PPS<br />

12 which stating that:<br />

“…district authorities should align and coordinate <strong>the</strong> Core Strategy [<strong>Local</strong><br />

<strong>Plan</strong>] of <strong>the</strong> LDF with <strong>the</strong>ir Sustainable Community Strategies.”<br />

4.3 This relationship is not however limited to <strong>the</strong> delivery of <strong>the</strong> SCS objectives. It is also a component in<br />

<strong>the</strong> delivery mechanisms as captured in Figure 7 – Development and delivery of <strong>the</strong> SCS, LDF and LAA<br />

below, that takes account of potential future changes.<br />
