Subsection (3c) of policy CSP2 states that the Strategic Centres have the potential to provide 9,561 new homes of mixed type and tenure; the majority built at high densities as part of mixed-use developments. The Subsection (3c) reference to density should repeated in subsection (4d) such that intention is extended to also reference potential for high density residential development in the Core Regeneration Areas. The BCA currently have a 25% housing shortfall against requirements, even when proposed green belt release sites and provision by neighbouring authorities out of area are factored-in. It is highly likely that a component of any solution to addressing the current housing shortfall will be higher density residential development in the defined Core Regeneration Areas in addition to in the defined Strategic Centres.
