The key weakness of Option 2 is that it only focuses growth on the urban areas within the settlement hierarchy, which tend to be the most sustainable locations to accommodate growth. There will be rural settlements lower down in the settlement hierarchy that are in sustainable locations that would be denied growth under this option as it would see growth spread around the most urban settlements irrespective of where evidence suggests demand is located.
