Housing: Construction

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what she expects the average density per hectare to be of housing developments built during this Parliament.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

Development density is influenced by a range of factors, such as the type of land use, building types and form, and building heights. The National Design Guide and National Model Design Code provide guidance on these elements.

Local Design Guides and Design Codes may set out densities or ranges of density, that take account of local context.
