HP03: Residential Density
Proposals for new residential developments not allocated in the Plan:
- should take a design led approach to density which ensures schemes are sympathetic to local character and make efficient use of land;
- be expected to achieve a net density of at least 35 dwellings per hectare net or higher, unless the character of the surrounding area suggests that such densities would be inappropriate, or where other site constraints make such densities unachievable; and
- be expected to achieve a higher density, generally above 65 dwellings per hectare net in the Town Centre and District Shopping Centres listed below Strategic Policy PC04 Retail Hierarchy of Designated Centres, or other locations with good public transport accessibility, subject to Strategic Policy BE14 Creating Successful Places.
