This Draft Policy Direction states that density ranges will be set out in Design Codes. The Policy should be worded to take account of the need for Design Codes to have input from those with an interest in the development of allocations, such as landowners, promoters, and developers. Such stakeholders should be allowed to influence design codes ensure that development is both feasible and deliverable, whilst taking into account the character of the local area, market needs and upholding appropriate design standards.
The Draft Policy Direction also states that the SWLP will identify areas that would be more suited to higher density development through densification. It is important to note that the approach to density should recognise the that appropriateness of densification should be determined on a site-specific basis. Sites within urban areas and / or close to mixed use hubs which have good accessibility to a range of services, employment opportunities and public transport provision are likely to lend themselves to a higher density of development.
