Minimum and maximum site densities for zoned housing land

As part of the drive to achieve an increased housing density, development plans should specify minimum site densities as a key site requirement for zoned housing land. These should however take into account specific site circumstances. A maximum site density may also be appropriate where the aim is to respect the surrounding context and setting, or in the case of a greenfield site, to ensure that these are not developed to excess at the expense of lands within the urban footprint.
