It is noted that this policy makes reference to the existing settlement hierarchy. We also note that the proposed strategic allocations (such as AL14 and AL7) are identified to reinforce the roles of existing centres in their current position in the settlement hierarchy.
We would note that Plan paragraphs 4.30-4.33 (Longer Term Growth Requirements) may result in growth which would require reconsideration of the hierarchy. We would agree that this may not necessarily be a matter for this Local Plan period but the text should accommodate it if there was a preference to accelerate delivery within this Plan period.
