This growth option scores negatively in the majority of the sustainability appraisal objectives. If progressed it would result in depopulation and a decline in the working age population. The quality of community facilities is likely to decline as working age population declines.

This would also result in a reduction in existing housing land supply meaning that housing provision would continue to fail to meet identified needs and the shortfall would be exacerbated. Without new allocations there would be no mechanism to deliver additional affordable housing.
