  • The Plan for the Borough of Wellingborough: Background Paper
    Appendix 3 Settlement Hierarchy The Plan for the Borough of Wellingborough: Background Paper Date: October 2015 Swanspool House, Doddington Road, Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, NN8 1BP Tel: 01933 229777 DX 12865 www.wellingborough.gov.uk 1. Introduction 1.1 The settlement hierarchy is a key part of the new local plan evidence base. The new local plan will be formed of two parts. Part 1 of the new local plan comprises the emerging Joint Core Strategy (JCS) that includes high level strategic policies. The Plan for the Borough of Wellingborough (PBW) will form Part 2 of the new local plan and will provide more locally specific policies. 1.2 The aim of this background paper is to assess whether there is any requirement for the PBW to consider the inclusion of specific detailed policy on settlement hierarchy, further to that provided in the policies of the emerging JCS. 1.3 A settlement hierarchy is a way of categorising the boroughs settlements to recognise their different roles. A hierarchy groups together the settlements that have similar characteristics. At the top of the hierarchy are the larger settlements that fulfil most functions, have the best infrastructure (facilities and services) and are most easy to get to by sustainable forms of travel. The smaller settlements, with least functions, infrastructure and transport links, are nearer the bottom of the hierarchy. This helps us decide how to sustainably distribute development between settlements. 1.4 In order to fulfil the aim of this paper the following steps will be completed; • Examination of local and national policy • Desk top examination of settlements in the borough • Collection of evidence through a parish council questionnaire and site visits • Review of responses to the Issues and Options Consultation • Identification and analysis of available options • Recommendations 2.
