Introduction Why produce a Settlement Strategy? One of the primary aims of establishing a settlement strategy is to promote sustainable communities by making sure that the scale of new development is appropriate for the settlement in question and that it can be supported by adequate infrastructure and services. Ideally, the aim is to bring housing, employment and services closer together, reducing the need to travel by private car. However, it is not always possible to do this and as such it is important to plan so that existing settlements can become more sustainable and, where appropriate, accessed by means other than the private car. Elmbridge contains a wide variety of settlements ranging from urban town centres to small rural villages. A clear planning approach needs to be adopted, based on an understanding of their current characteristics and function, as well as likely deliverable development opportunities that exist for providing new development and improving infrastructure where necessary.
