The principle of Draft Policy Direction 8 is acceptable. The SWLP should ensure that policies regarding density align with Paragraphs 129 and 130 of the Framework, particularly local market conditions and viability (Paragraph 129b).

I partially agree with Draft Policy Direction 8 but have concerns about its implementation. The policy promotes higher density development but lacks clear guidance on where it is appropriate. Density should respect local character and avoid overdevelopment, particularly in areas with limited infrastructure. Increased density must be matched by improvements in schools, healthcare, and transport to prevent further strain on services. The policy should guarantee infrastructure expansion before high-density development is approved. A balanced approach is needed, ensuring densification is sustainable, context-sensitive, and supported by essential infrastructure to maintain quality of life for residents.

The NPPF emphasises the importance of making efficient use of land (Paragraph 124), but also recognizes the need for a range of housing densities to reflect local market conditions and community needs. While higher densities help meet housing demand, lower-density developments must also be accommodated to provide choice, support well-being and meet the needs of those requiring larger gardens or more space from neighbours. A balanced approach ensures sustainable development, aligns with local character (Paragraph 125) and delivers diverse housing options for all residents.

We need to aim for a higher minimum level of densification to avoid sprawl and enable creation of parks and greenspaces. I'm talking about gentle density levels that will also encourage active travel, but not be offputting.

Increased density can put a significant strain on existing infrastructure, such as roads, public transport, and utilities. This can lead to congestion, overburdened public services, and a decline in the quality of life for residents. It can lead to increased air pollution, reduced green spaces, and changes to local microclimates. Lack of privacy and increased noise levels can negatively affect the mental and physical health of inhabitants. A Design Code is one way forward but should not be too prescriptive and be wary of generalisations.

54. The wording indicates density ranges will be agreed through a Design Code. Any Design Code should be prepared in accord with national guidance and offer a degree of flexibility and variety aligning with NPPF Paragraph 133 to allow consideration on a site-by-site basis and to ensure it remains adaptable to a changing market demands.

The draft policy seeks to incorporate densities in design codes which may include areas for higher density. Flexibility in these codes is essential to prevent conflicts that might impede the growth strategy, especially for new settlements and strategic growth locations. Larger settlements may encompass varied densities, with higher densities near local centres or transport hubs and lower densities on peripheries. An overarching density strategy, for example with indicative density ranges, could allow for site-specific codes to address site specific requirements which would assist the council's development management team in assessing suitability and achievability of densities in proposed developments.

Draft Policy Direction 26 indicates that individual design codes are proposed for site specific allocations and that these will be produced by the local planning authority and adopted after the SWLP adoption. The logic of these two approaches is that only once those design codes have been prepared would the appropriate density ranges have been determined for different locations. Given the potential extent and number of site-specific design codes required under this approach we would question whether this is an efficient and effective process.

Draft Policy Direction 8 takes a sensible approach by recognising the benefits of higher density while ensuring it is shaped by design codes. Increasing density, if well planned, can create walkable, vibrant neighbourhoods that reduce car dependency and support local services. However, without clear minimum density requirements, there is a risk that developments will default to low-density sprawl rather than making efficient use of land. The policy should ensure that densification does not become a token gesture and that new development actually contributes to more sustainable, well-connected places rather than just adding more housing without improving urban form.
