Grey– Dispersed growth

Dispersed growth will assist in maintaining and preferably enhancing the vitality of villages within the Borough. It will address the problems of housing concentration that may have contributed to the relatively large number of cases of Covid 19 in the Borough during the current pandemic. Dispersed growth also addresses changes in transport technology that will take in during the plan period in terms of the significant growth in the number of electric vehicles and the development of autonomous vehicle technology. Other changes to the way people live and work, with a significant increase in home working and on-line working and retail will increase the sustainability of dispersed growth.
