The increase in density is needed due to continued housing development with a finite land supply. But the UK is a wealthy country so government should reasonably be aspiring for all homes to be large, detached, with pleasant back gardens to meet the aspirations of most of the population. Increasing density is a failure of aspiration by the council that will lower residents living standards. As an example, please see cage houses in Hong Kong. Do you want your grandchildren living in cage houses? That is logically what South Warwickshire will have if it continues housing development forever.

Landowners should NOT be involved in this as they have a financial interest in what their land would be worth. Ie the more houses the higher the value of the land. Hatton proposed development is an example of this.

Densification should be taken as a starting assumption in all cases. Denser development has a lower carbon footprint and is more sustainable.
Developers will always argue for less dense development as they make more money that way. This narrow self interest MUST be resisted.

How about dealing with areas of Stratford-upon-Avon which have been derelict for years and are apparently unattractive for private development due to sky high taxes. No other development

This is too general. It doesn’t appear to consider recent past developments that have increased density, it only considers future developments.

House builders should be mandated to include denser building designs within the area they are building. For example, to build 300 new houses in a small town, the same house builder should have to provide high density flats within the town center, or in a larger town center close by.

I agree with a policy being in place. I would ask for existing Green Belt Land, even if the policy is relaxed to be at an incredibly LOW density so to conform more closely with surrounding housing restrictions.

1. Setting clear density guidelines will help create balanced, attractive, and sustainable places while ensuring that new developments respond appropriately to their local context. Any policy should provide flexibility for site-specific considerations while ensuring that density levels support long-term environmental, social, and economic sustainability.
2. Density policies should also prevent excessive land consumption and sprawl, encouraging well-designed, sustainable growth that contributes positively to rural communities.
3. The policy needs to carefully managed to avoid overdevelopment, ensure high-quality design, and maintain adequate green space and infrastructure capacity.

Increasing density in urban areas is fine but attaching a new town to an existing village (eg site BW) is totally inappropriate. Small scale infill within villages is fine but making a village such as Bearley into a town is totally unacceptable.

I agree with the density put forward for urban areas but adding large scale development to existing villages is unacceptable. These areas should have sensitive infill within the specified areas on brownfield sites such as Countrywide Stores in Bearley this could be developed for social housing to meet the needs of the residents of Bearley and the surrounding area. Also The Golden Cross site could be used sympathetically for a small development of houses without having a major negative impact on the area.

population density is critical to the social wellbeing of development. Due to the size shape and topography of the Bearley/Wilmcote site it can not be planned in such aware to prevent social isolation pockets developing. The site is restricted boundaries a major road A3400 Birmingham Road on the East and the existing railway line on the West. This site is unviable or suitable for consideration as development.

Higher densities are good for the environment, less land use, easier to encourage sustainable travel, lower cost for infrastructure. Easier to provide lower cost dwellings. Developers may prefer high cost housing but that does not address the housing crisis.

Broadly agree. Hard to believe that Stratford don't have a minimum density constraint. density must be enforced to avoid more developments consisting only of large and very expensive houses. Important not to be too dense though as there is a need for trees, shrubs adn at least some area of garden for each house; all important for wildlife

Densities must be increased in urban areas in order to accommodate housing numbers and minimise the loss of green fields. Higher density developments are more sustainable. In high density areas where there is good public transport the requirement to provide parking spaces should be relaxed

High density neighbourhoods are important for activities such as allowing children to walk safely to school, or to keep shops nearby. We should reduce car dependency as much as possible.

Stratford upon Avon has seen a huge increase in new housing developments over the last 10 years and increasing so in the last 3 years. This has placed an enormous pressure on the local infrastructure which has struggled to keep pace. The town itself has difficulty in serving the existing community without more density of population.
It is also vitally important to preserve the surrounding countryside for wildlife, flora and fauna, and the farming industry.
