We support the policy direction in principle, subject to robust evidence being provided to support any identified density parameters being placed on allocations and/or specific settlements. NPPF paragraph
129 states that planning policies should support development that makes efficient use of land, taking into account the following:
“a) the identified need for different types of housing and other forms of development, and the availability of land suitable for accommodating it;
b) local market conditions and viability;
c) the availability and capacity of infrastructure and services – both existing and proposed – as well as their potential for further improvement and the scope to promote sustainable travel modes that limit future car use;
d) the desirability of maintaining an area’s prevailing character and setting (including residential gardens), or of promoting regeneration and change; and
e) the importance of securing well-designed, attractive and healthy places.”
In light of the above, we consider that any policy wording proposed in density policies, including the inclusion of density requirements within design codes, should ensure that the above requirements, particularly regarding viability and market conditions, are taken in to account and an element of flexibility allowed for to ensure the proposed development can respond appropriately to its spatial and market context. This will ensure that the development coming forward in all parts of the SWLP area will appropriately meet market needs.
