Places • Provides spatially specific vision and policy guidance for each place
• Provides place wide and location specific guidance (outside of clusters)
• Centred around an indicative policy map, other illustrations including an
extract of the illustrative masterplan
• Supported by justification text
• Identifies locations of clusters and site allocations but does not provide
guidance for them
• Avoids repetition between the different places
Clusters • Clusters are smaller areas where movement routes meet, groups of
active uses are located and/or where important local
heritage/environmental assets are located
• Cluster policies enable the Local Plan to focus on these key locations
and enable the place policies to focus on broader guidance
• Provides fine-grain spatially specific vision and policy guidance for each
cluster. Avoid repetition between other clusters and place policies
Site allocations • Provides information to demonstrate delivery of homes and
employment floorspace targets for 0-5 and 5-10 years.
• Identifies social and physical infrastructure reflecting the Infrastructure
