Representation Summary:

The plan gives little consideration to the density of new housing development or whether intensification of use of the existing housing stock could be achieved without loss of quality in the urban environment. On most development sites, a density of 35 dwellings per hectare has been uncritically adopted, ignoring the variability between sites and their settings and the potential for higher density.
