POLICY BP10: HOUSING DENSITY

In light of the high levels of identified housing need, the Council will wish to see the optimum use made of all suitable sites in the Borough, subject to accessibility, design requirements, site size and capacity, the provision of physical and social infrastructure and sustainability requirements.

Development proposals will only be approved where the developer can demonstrate to the Council’s satisfaction that the above key elements have been considered and that the proposal is in-line with the density matrix contained in the London Plan and the Council’s Urban Design Framework Supplementary Planning Document.
