Hierarchy of Settlements
A hierarchy of settlements will help determine the level of growth that will be allocated. The proposed hierarchy is based on the number of key facilities and services available in settlements, and information on employment and travel to work. This is for keeping the ‘functional’ approach to planning. It is the role and function of a settlement that will determine its position in a hierarchy and not its population size.
