Of particular relevance to the HMRC Shipley site are draft Policies H02 Housing Density and H04 Housing Mix. The Council will expect new development to comprise a well-designed layout, providing the type and size of housing needed in the area. Developments should achieve a minimum of 35 dwellings per hectare, and at least 50 dwellings per hectare in city centre/ town/ sustainable locations near to railway stations. Urban housing schemes such as this would be supported in Shipley.
The Council’s approach to the strategic allocation of sites and ensuring efficient use of land through appropriate density and mix of development is supported. The HMRC Shipley site is a sustainable, suitable and deliverable location for a high quality residential led development to deliver much needed housing for the District.
