This map shows strategy lens 3 Transport Corridors and Hubs and the 74 sites we explored, as part of this potential approach to a new strategy for new homes, jobs and infrastructure.
The map contains strategic points that we think are important to consider. This is not an exhaustive list however and we recommend reading the full chapter to understand all the challenges, opportunities and issues involved with this strategy lens Chapter 6c Transport Corridors and Hubs.
We are seeking your views on 3 alternative “lenses” which have been explored to make choices as to where new homes, jobs and infrastructure might go. We are showing the places, individual sites, number of homes and amount of employment land which could have been delivered under each lens. Each lens represents a potential alternative approach to building a strategy to meet our needs for new homes and jobs, while balancing this against environmental, social and infrastructure issues. For more information on this we recommend you read.
This lens considered how a spatial strategy would perform if the majority of new homes we need to provide for were provided along already established key public transport routes and hubs, some of which have existing programmes of investment and enhancements.
Please do read and review this lens, the sites and amount of new homes at each place suggested and let us know your thoughts. This will assist us in determining if the emerging preferred strategy has the most appropriate places and sites for a preferred strategy to deliver homes, jobs, services and infrastructure required in our new Local Plan.

Please also see Chapter 5 Towards an Emerging Preferred Strategy and its supporting online map. Although no decisions have been made at this stage, we have presented what we believe to be an appropriate preferred strategy based on what we know to date, influenced by the three lenses and sites within, presented in this consultation. The final strategy is yet to be determined and will be influenced by the further evidence we continue to gather, as well as your consultation comments on our emerging preferred strategy and each of the alternative lenses.
Click on the map below to get started. You can look at any of the sites we explored on the map.
You can select each individual site by clicking on it on the map. You can then comment on the individual site by clicking on the green tab ‘Comment on this site’ which will be under the site information.
In addition, you can comment on the principle of this strategy lens, as a whole by clicking on the green tab ‘Comment on this lens’ which is located on the bottom right of the map.
This Transport Corridors and Hubs lens is not the final strategy. The sites we are showing and consulting with you on below are those we have explored through this lens. Further consultation and information is required to determine the most appropriate strategy to deliver homes, jobs and change in our new Local Plan. In technical planning speak at this point this strategy lens and potential site allocations carry very limited planning weight in the determination of planning applications and do not form the new adopted strategy for our Local Plan.
The sites, designations and information shown on this map is part of our Phase 3 (Regulation 18) consultation, are not ‘adopted’ and carry limited weight in determination of any planning application until the new Local Plan is adopted.
