New cluster

*Not all locations fit comfortably into the planning definitions. For instance there are some offices just outside an Urban Centre. They are currently shown in the ‘cluster’ grouping and are ‘asterisked’. We will need to be flexible about when they are reviewed and will advise you via the WFC website should there be any changes to the timing of their review.
