The %age measures used in this hierarchy are inappropriate as they do not highlight the impact on each settlement in isolation. In particular, it downplays the effect on smaller settlements by not properly highlighting the very significant changes which would result from the proposed developments, compared to their existing size. For example, the reported increase in Blackmore's %age of Total Dwellings from 1.05% to 1.13% sounds insignificant when presented in this manner and fails to highlight what actually represents a 28.6% increase in the proposed number of dwellings in that settlement.
