Given our comments in relation to the logic of updating the settlement hierarchy, we do not support Option One that would merely repeat the distribution within the current LDP, although we acknowledge that the main settlements should continue to be the main focus for development.

The HBF do not support options 1, 2, 3 or 6 and do not support one particular option but instead elements of Options 4, 5 and although these are described in very different ways, comparing the plans they look very similar. Accordingly, we suggest the Council look to develop a hybrid option based on these options, which gives the greatest flexibility for growth based around sustainable settlements (Urban, Satellite Settlements and the Local Service Centres), according to their ability to accommodate development, therefore providing greater likelihood of the plan being able to deliver the identified vision, objectives and needs.

This scores poorly against a large number of the sustainability appraisal objectives, the location of some employment and land allocations distributed across the hierarchy are constrained in some rural areas and to the east of the County. Coupled with the fact that national guidance seeks to locate housing and employment in close proximity to assist sustainability, it is considered that the current LDP strategy is not best placed to deliver wider strategies. If progressed, this could result in spreading growth too thinly as the proportional distribution gives the impression that most settlements will need to grow or have an allocation.
