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
