Variety of densities and building types to sustain local character

What is sometimes overlooked is that a large proportion of our much admired Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian terraces resulted in higher densities that often far exceed density limits advocated within existing development plans and dispels perceptions that often conflate high densities with high rise. As density is only a measure, the challenge is to avoid a 'one size fits all' approach and instead encourage a variety of densities and building types that collectively sustain the local character of an area while contributing to its sense of place.
