Representation Summary:

4 – A balanced approach to growth and delivery seems the most logical, as by allocating different sized developments it will ensure housing and infrastructure delivery throughout the whole plan period.

Larger growth areas which require their own infrastructure will provide more homes, with a larger number of affordable dwellings, but will only be available for completion in the later stages of the plan period due to their strategic size.
