The capacity for growth, while a relevant factor, should not be determinative of the location for growth alone. The Borough Council might wish to consider a more multi- dimensional assessment in order to form a complete analysis of potential locations for growth necessary to ensure that a sustainable form of development results in the Borough. Available land capacity is, on its own unrelated to the existing spatial pattern of development, residential population, provision of services, employment and facilities. On this basis there are better-suited sites in locations within and adjacent to the existing higher order centres such as Brentwood that can provide an appropriate mix and choice of sites for future growth.
