Representation Summary:
Providing a strong guide for a minimum density of development is broadly welcomed, but only insofar as it does not stifle the best design solution - design should always be led by site constraints and viability concerns rather than the simple imposition of density targets. This is illustrated by our client's emerging masterplans for the redevelopment of the Horndon Estate, where the development density for the housing element is 28.4 dwelling per hectare. Even so, this result in an additional 324 houses, of varying sizes, and reflects West Horndon's existing development density.
