The spatial strategy appears to be based on a settlement hierarchy. The site selection paper (October 2020) also refers to a hierarchy. The plan would benefit from establishing a clear and prescriptive settlement hierarchy, informed by qualitative evidence as to the sustainability of each settlement based on its provision of services and facilities etc. to demonstrate that the spatial strategy is justified.
This approach would also assist in the overall development management and delivery of windfall sites during the plan period, which are expected to deliver 2,800 new homes by 2036.
