Stage 2 of the LAA is underway and involves estimating development potential of identified sites. It's critical that this should not be an exercise of applying an arbitrary / capped density per hectare thresholds for relevant sites. Such an approach would fail to optimise the use of sites which can evidently deliver high density development in accessible locations.

Applying density thresholds on identified ‘Urban Regeneration’ sites restricts the most efficient and effective use of suitable, available, and achievable sites (key criteria for Stage 2 of the LAA) without giving full consideration to its development potential through the development management process.
