t will be important to ensure that the Settlement Boundaries are not drawn too tightly around the built-up areas of settlements, as this could result in an inflexible approach to delivering housing sites. The Local Plan should provide a more flexible approach to housing delivery to ensure that a mix of development scales are provided for. This will help to sustain the delivery of homes if some of the larger sites allocated in the plan do not meet the housing delivery expectations then additional sites should be allowed to come forward for development.

In order to ensure maximum flexibility is provided it will be necessary to ensure that a pragmatic approach is adopted in the drafting of settlement boundaries.
