BHL3 Housing Densities

The Council will seek to optimise housing densities on sites throughout the plan area. As a general principle, higher density residential development should be concentrated on sites surrounding Blackhorse Road Station. Key considerations when determining appropriate densities will be:

A) the existing PTAL covering the site;

B) any planned improvements in provision of shops, services and public transport in the locality;

C) the need to provide a high quality design; including generous room sizes, storage space and communal gardens where appropriate. As a minimum, the standards set out in Development Management Policies DM7 (Amenity and Internal Space) and DM29 (Design Principles, Standards and Local Distinctiveness) should be met.
