Next steps for growth investigations

The Commission proposes to undertake detailed investigation of the identified greenfield and infill growth areas for inclusion in the new plan. This involves:

  • Localised evaluation, including detailed consultation with councils and agencies
  • Analysing existing and future physical and social infrastructure capacities and provision
  • Reviewing relevant economic factors, including market attraction, propensity, landowner intentions and employment availability
  • Evaluating growth options to determine priorities based on governance, economic, physical and social factors.
