For the purposes of the Study, and in accordance with the selection criteria of policy CS3(e) of the Suffolk Structure Plan Review, the following settlements were assessed:

  • Bury St Edmunds
  • Haverhill
  • Clare

Urban Capacity Study Review

In 2005 White Young Green Planning were commissioned by the council to undertake a review of the 2003 Urban Capacity Study. The purpose of the review is to provide the borough council with a critique and re-evaluation of the methodology and findings of the original study. It was also used to inform the council’s evidence submitted to the Public Local Inquiry into objections to the Replacement Borough Local Plan.
