However, it is likely that some policies may not be ‘strategic’ in all NP circumstances, particularly where the policy may refer to a specific geographical area, site or landscape which is not applicable to that NP area. There is also scope for a NP to be more specific than the Local Plan in relation to some topic policies, and where evidence supports this position. Some smaller site allocations in this plan are not strategic in themselves.
