Support, with comments.

The principle of ensuring that developments are high quality and contribute to delivering inclusive growth in mixed, resilient and sustainable communities, whilst assisting in mitigating and adapting to climate change is supported. To demonstrate the ability to secure these objectives, the preparation of a Sustainability Statement as part of an application for a major development is supported.

Whilst the requirement to ensure the efficient use of land by, amongst other things, providing an indicative minimum density of 25 dwellings per hectare, is supported, the policy, or supporting text, should make it clear that, as well as giving consideration to on site characteristics, consideration will be given to a range of other site / scheme specific issues, such as housing mix, design considerations and the densities of the surrounding area.
