The Plan proposes a design-led approach consistent with location, different land uses, viability and other policies. We support the Councils' approach, which does not seek to impose general densities across sites with numerous disparate factors affecting density, which should be left to the design stage. At the Science Park, the application of percentage coverage figures and densities has been rejected recently in favour of a more sensible design-led approach, which looks critically at the site and its surroundings rather than applying a general density across a large site.
