Representation ID: 7501

Received: 11/03/2019

Respondent: Portland Planning Consultants

Representation Summary:

No. The appropriate mechanism for securing smaller market housing is achieved using density policy. It is a requirement of plan making that account is taken of national policy. The approach to increasing densities is set out at paragraphs 122 and 123 of the National Planning Policy Framework. As is evident from those paragraphs it is necessary to approach the articulation of density policies having regard to several factors including the character of the surrounding area.
