Reference a number of projects within the IDP stating that they will now be undeliverable or more expensive given the current economic climate and build costs.

Have concerns that the IDP is taking forward totally unrealistic, highly questionable and undeliverable projects in direct conflict with paragraph 31 (e.g. the financial project costings are not based on accurate, credible, robust and up-to-date evidence) of the Revised NPPF, and the 'proportionate evidence test' and 'deliverability test' for Local Plan-preparation tests of 'Soundness', as reinforced within paragraphs 16 (indent b), 35 (indents b and c) of the Revised National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (2021).
