Housing Strategy and SPPS Compliance
Councils must develop a housing strategy with policies reflecting sustainable development principles, including sustainable forms of development, increased housing density without over-crowding, good design, and balanced communities.
This guidance is supported by the provisions of the SPPS which states that Councils shall bring forward a strategy for housing, together with appropriate policies and proposals that reflect the policy approach of the SPPS, which is to encourage sustainable forms of development; increase housing density without town cramming; encourage good design; and support the formation of balanced communities.
