Why should we Analyse Settlement
Analysing settlements will help plan for the future. Locating new development, for housing, employment or any other land use is the most difficult part of planning for the future. Choices must be made between Urban change and the loss of green field land to new development.
A key principle is the need to create, support and promote sustainable communities. The main dimensions of sustainability is to locate housing, employment and services closely together to reduce the need to travel.
