Government policy as set out in the NPPF (paragraph 52), and consultation on proposed changes in December 2015, extends support for the supply of new homes through larger scale developments such as urban extensions and new settlements. These should be located where they can meet the sustainable development objectives of national policy. hanges to the NPPF seek to ensure that housing is delivered on land allocated in plans and recognises the significant benefits to encouraging development around new and existing commuter hubs - reducing travel distances by private transport, making effective use of private and public sector land in sustainable locations, and helping to secure the wider regeneration and growth of the local area. In this context the government is keen to see higher density housing development around commuter hubs wherever feasible.
