Representation Summary:
'Garden Suburbs' proposals may involve large areas of low-density housing which would use more acreage than if planned to a higher density.

Gardens Towns Prospectus is idealistic and seems to be conventional suburbia with an extravagant use of space. May not lead to affordable homes.
Need a more proactive policy stance on the reuse of vacant properties and the need to promote 'homes above shops' as part of a comprehensive package to revitalise the urban areas.
