Urban capacity study

The urban capacity study established how much housing development is likely to come forward within villages between 1999 and 2016.

The Study has been adopted following public participation on a Consultation Draft of the study. This was published alongside the Local Development Framework Preferred Options Reports in October 2004. A total of 96 representations specifically relating to the study were received, although the total relating to the LDF documents as a whole was over 6000.

The study has been updated to reflect 2004 monitoring information, and subsequently the result has changed. However, the methodology, as modified following the public participation, remains similar. Differences from the 2004 Draft are highlighted in the study.
