Using existing large settlements along the coast makes the best use of transport links and infrastructure, that would be attractive to homebuyers and employers alike.

Nor do we support Options 2, 3 and 5 which in their different ways seek to direct all development either to the A55 corridor, to key settlements alone, or to hubs and corridors, there is always a need for balance with the greatest level of growth directed to the most sustainable locations, but an overall sustainable approach must also consider housing needs within the smaller settlements so as to maintain and even improve their viability/vitality in the future.

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.

Agreed that flexibility is key to support the delivery of the RLDP objectives. In terms of housing, this will be through a combination of the hierarchy and housing policies.

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.
