Summary:
Policy MA1’s scope is appropriate, but it is currently ambiguous and ineffective at points. It should be clarified that the SMPs should be submitted alongside planning applications and be approved upon their determination. The policy should also clarify that SMPs should broadly align with the scope of Concept Plans, and that technical assessments should drive SMPs. It should make clear that POS delivery should be standards/evidence driven, and should combine clauses H, I and L. Clause J should remove reference to ‘provably popular’ Design Codes.
