We would note the difference between high density and high rise. Ipswich in particular has had a number of high rise buildings to deliver high density. Historic development patterns also provide high density housing at a low rise level. High density and high rise should not become synonymous. Historic England is commissioning research to better understand how increasing housing density in heritage-rich areas can be achieved in ways sensitive to the historic environment. This will be coming forward during the local plan process and should be considered as part of the evidence base to the local plan.
