  • South Worcestershire Development Plan 2016
    HOUSING HOUSING SWDP 13: Effective Use of Land A. To deliver places that are more sustainable, development will make the most effective and sustainable use of land, focusing on: i. Housing density; ii. Reusing previously developed land; and iii. Making only exceptional use of the Best and Most Versatile Agricultural Land. Housing Density B. Housing development in south Worcestershire will make the most effective and efficient use of land, with housing density designed to enhance the character and quality of the local area, commensurate with a viable scheme and infrastructure capacity. C. Housing density will be greater on sites with a high level of accessibility, including sites located in or close to city and town centres, or close to public transport stations. D. The form and density of housing will vary across larger sites, in response to current and future accessibility and other characteristics of each part of the site. Variations in density across a site should be used to develop different character areas. E. Subject to parts B, C and D above, on sites allocated for housing or for mixed use that includes housing, the following broad indications of appropriate average net densities shall apply: i. On sites within the city of Worcester and allocations for more than 100 new dwellings in Droitwich Spa, Evesham and Malvern, development should achieve an average net density of 40 dwellings / ha. ii. On sites within Worcester city centre and the town centres of Droitwich Spa, Evesham and Malvern, development of mainly flatted units should achieve an average net density of 75 dwellings / ha.
