Figure 5.4
Whilst I appreciate the aim of keeping figure 5.4 simple, since this is the root of supporting text and policies in Section 5 and further on in the Plan, the need for clarity is very important and this figure needs to be expanded and refined to draw out a few more items and concepts that are combined in the figure as currently drawn up.
I think the table is trying to do three things: (a) combine all types of development (b) explain the totality of sources of development and (c) create a hierarchy for decision making. The table would greatly benefit by separating theses strands. I believe that it could much better reflect the different drivers for development if say 'Housing' and 'Job Growth and Employment strands' were separated.
