Introduction 1.1 The Bromsgrove District Plan must identify a settlement hierarchy for the District which should be supported by robust evidence. This settlement hierarchy study has therefore been produced as background research and and justification for the settlement hierarchy as identified in the Bromsgrove District Plan. 1.2 This paper sets out the background to the settlements within the District including an audit of the services and facilities currently available in each settlement and provides a recommendation as to the appropriate settlement hierarchy for use in the Bromsgrove District Plan. The evidence presented here demonstrates that the Settlement Hierarchy forms the basis of delivering future sustainable growth in the district. 2. What is a settlement hierarchy? 2.1 Settlements have traditionally provided a range of services and facilities to support their population. Generally speaking the larger the settlement in population numbers the greater the amount of services/facilities it provides. As car ownership has increased, for a number of reasons, rural services have tended to decline.
