Representation Summary:
The NPPF allows LPAs to set appropriate housing densities that reflect local circumstances. The consultation on proposed changes to National Planning Policy proposes a change to National Planning Policy to expect LPAs to require higher density development around commuter hubs wherever feasible. Shenfield with current and future transport links would be defined as a "commuter hub", therefore it is supported to focus higher densities here.
However, such an approach will need to have regard to the existing nature of the site, including Landscape, Listed Buildings and Topography.
