The statements contained in these sections are both relevant and compelling. However, the approach to housing is inconsistent with those statements, for example the use of old statistics on housing need, the overshoot of planned numbers of houses, the developing reliance on 'other villages' to provide housing growth without any clear statement as to the provision of infrastructure to support this growth. The contents of the climate change statement is worthy enough but lack both coherence and targets eg: 'increase sustainable transport use and transport solutions' - worthy stuff but in the GNLP support section it states 'support' not initiate.
