Policy DM30 is confused and contradictory in its requirements for density. Whilst clauses (a) to (c) seek to control densities, clauses (d) and (e) allow them to be overridden. Density should be informed by the principles set out in clause (d). Paragraphs 9.181 and 9.182 are aspirational and are in any case subject to the Housing Standards Review. Policy DM30 should be reviewed to ensure that it provides a reasonable basis for setting out the Council's expectations for the density of new development.
