uin	20315
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/06/2021 answer text <p>This Government does not impose a minimum density requirement nationally, but our National Planning Policy Framework provides strong encouragement to local authorities to make the most of suitable brownfield sites, especially for new homes. It is for each local authority to consider what housing density would be appropriate for any part of its area, and to incorporate relevant policies in its local plan as necessary. <br> <br>This should take into account local constraints, which the local authority is best placed to assess. A local authority may also specify what density is appropriate in a housing scheme by imposing planning conditions on the planning permission. We have empowered local communities to create local design guidance and design codes, which can include limits on building height and density where appropriate to protect the character of a place.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 28/06/2021 14:24:51 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
