The proposed design led approach for making best use of land is strongly supported. This policy should however specifically recognise that smaller more constrained sites are likely to better suited to smaller unit types (i.e those designed for individuals instead of large families).
Constrained sites tend to have fewer opportunities for providing private amenity space and play space. They are therefore better suited to higher densities of smaller unit sizes. Encouraging roof gardens and other innovative uses of community space should be sought in these of locations.
