H4 – Residential Density

New major residential development must be at an appropriate density subject to local character and in accordance with the desire to protect the Green Belt insofar as possible. A minimum net density of 40 dwellings per hectare should be met unless an applicant can demonstrate doing so would have a negative impact on local character, a designated heritage asset, biodiversity, trees or flood risk.
