Following the assessment above, ‘gender equality’ does not have a related objective in the Local Plan. Planning and local plan policies do not really seek to affect genders differently. When considering needs to address in the Local Plan, we look at the population as a whole. Therefore, it is considered acceptable that there are no objectives relating to ‘gender equality’.
