These proposed densities are too low. There should be an explicit presumption in favour of high-density development across the board, including outwith town centres. Even in rural areas, there must be a presumption against new detached and semi-detached housing. Current policies on densities date from 2011, at a time of recession when the housing market was slower. The priority now should be to make the most efficient possible use of land.
