Scores positively in the majority of sustainability appraisal objectives and would be suited to all of the settlement hierarchy options. However focusing growth on transport hubs and corridors would have mixed results. Growth would be focused within the sustainable locations, however further development along the A470 and A5 could encourage greater car use. This option would also result in additional development pressure on those settlements along transport corridors and strategic hubs, which may not be suitable. This option is also not considered to have a sufficient level of flexibility to withstand unforeseen circumstances and limited mechanisms to promote brownfield land.
