The human version (we wrote this, not the council)
This section introduces the Local Growth Locations policies, which allocate smaller sites to meet local needs by 2050. Policy DS.5 covers employment, Policy DS.6 covers mixed-use, leisure, community and town centre sites, and Policy DS.7 covers housing. The allocations include new sites chosen through the plan's spatial strategy as well as sites carried over from previous local and neighbourhood plans. A consolidated list of allocations by settlement appears in Appendix 2.
