This section of the Local Plan makes no reference to the need to achieve much higher housing densities than are proposed in this plan for Shipley – for example - in order to avoid the use of greenbelt and greenfield sites for housing and / or to mitigate the need to do so.

We note that the Campaign for the Protection of Rural England has previously suggested that 50dph is a minimum reasonable target to aim for in general and especially when considering the use of non-brownfield sites for housing (see CPRE publication, ‘Compact Sustainable Communities’, November 2006, p.3).
