The Sisters generally support the provisions of Policy DM3, however consider that greater flexibility should be built in to reflect where site constraints prevent the expected densities from being achieved. Such constraints being, inter alia, topography, the presence of trees or ground conditions.
Accordingly the 2nd paragraph of the policy needs to be reworded in the following way: "Residential densities will be expected to be 30 dwellings per hectare net or
higher unless the special character of the surrounding area suggests that
such densities would be inappropriate or where other constraints make such
densities unachievable"
