There are a range of densities throughout South Warwickshire, as highlighted in the Guide to Existing Housing Densities Topic Paper (January 2023), ranging from 6 dph in Alveston to 113 dph in central Leamington Spa. The Policy Direction is broadly supported as it recognises that a flexible approach to density should be taken. The NPPF emphasises the importance of achieving densities which are appropriate to the character of the area within which sites are located, with Paragraph 130 stating that a range of densities should be set out in policy to reflect the accessibility and potential of different areas. Such an approach would be consistent with national policy and justified, since the evidence base highlights the existing varying densities, and the need to consider the unique character of areas, some of which will be better suited to densification.
