Whilst delivering a new settlement reflects one method of delivering long-term growth, SSC must consider the difficulties of delivering new settlements in terms of the infrastructure required, which can result in significant lead-in times. Thus, BHL believes that SSC should consider other methods of long-term growth, such as identifying safeguarded Green Belt sites in the emerging plan that would be released as required.

Moreover, should SSC advance in considering a new settlement, they must consider the relationship it has with the North of Penkridge strategic allocation; which must be considered the Council's preferred option.
