In addition to information provided by infrastructure providers, the content of the Site Allocations Plan is based on the findings of various technical studies that have assessed the impact of development on a range of sites and locations.

Much of this technical work underpinned the previous Preferred Options version of the Plan. Updates to the technical work have resulted in some of the previously identified sites not being included within this version of the Plan.
