The council used a combination of local knowledge, suggestions from residents, and urban capacity assessment tools to identify potential sites for development.

In addition to asked for sites to be nominated through a Call for Sites.

Every single site identified was then assessed against sustainable development criteria and those suitable, the use and capacity of the site was considered.

The capacity of each site identified has been determined through a design led approach that considered at a site level the location, constraints and the local context.

The viability of the proposes site mix has been tested to ensure it is deliverable.
