Policy HOU2 – Housing Density, Type and Accessibility
The principle of increasing densities is supported with minimum densities based on accessibility criteria and proximity to local services and facilities. Limited reasons are set out for schemes to not achieve the minimum net densities set out within the draft policy with only reference to historic character and local distinctiveness given. The policy needs to include reference to physical constraints on a site such as sewers and easements, culverted watercourses, steep slopes, unstable land, and stand-off distances required from mine shafts post treatment.
