AI Plan Analysis

After analyzing your current plan, I've evaluated how it balances different interests and needs within the development area.

Overall, your plan shows a good attempt at balancing various planning priorities. Here's my detailed assessment:

Areas for Improvement

  • Housing is farther than the national average from schools, which may create accessibility issues for families
  • Commercial space is too focused in one area and should be spread out to create multiple neighborhood centers
  • Large areas focused solely on housing puts pressure on public services
  • Green space connectivity could be improved to create wildlife corridors
  • Some built-up areas appear to encroach on flood-prone zones

Positive Aspects

  • Good overall housing density that meets development targets
  • Effective preservation of most green belt areas
  • Sensible placement of GP practices relative to population density
  • Mixed-use development in central areas promotes walkability
  • Retail spaces are generally accessible from residential areas

Consider making adjustments to address the identified issues while maintaining the strengths of your current plan.

This analysis is based on standard planning best practices and may not account for all local factors.

AI Alternative Plan Suggestion

I've generated an alternative layout that optimizes your plan by grouping similar categories together. This creates more efficient zones and improves access to services.

Features of this Alternative Plan:

  • Clustered Housing: Housing areas are grouped together with nearby amenities
  • Distributed Commercial: Retail and employment spaces are spread across multiple smaller hubs
  • Strategic Services: Schools and GP practices are positioned at optimal distances between housing clusters
  • Green Belt Preservation: Green belt areas maintained with improved ecological connectivity
  • Built-up Area Management: Development concentrated in appropriate zones

Comparison to Current Plan:

Housing

Same number of homes but in more efficient clusters with better access to services

Commercial

Equal space distributed across 3 neighborhood centers instead of 1 concentrated area

Services

Schools and GP practices relocated to serve more residents within shorter distances
