Trust broadly agrees that preferred spatial option for the district is also the most sustainable.
Focusing growth around existing urban areas reduces the need for significant development of infrastructure and provides basis to promote more localized employment opportunities and sustainable methods of transportation. However, whether preferred option will deliver sustainable growth from environmental perspective will largely depend on appropriate selection of potential sites and recognition and incorporation of key natural environmental assets within design of development. Use of Warwick District Habitat Assessment as tool to inform subsequent opportunities and constraints of each development option is therefore necessity for appropriate site selection.
