All planning should feed back to the required housing stock which councils should all have identified and included in their local plan.
In theory that’s precisely what should happen.
The entire site should be affordable 3 bed houses.
Lots of planners think this is a mistake, even if that’s the need as it creates mono-cultures. A nice mix is thought to create a better community.
We've a site near us of 500k studio and 1 bed flats and 7x 1.5m 5 bed
This is not a nice mix. If the local plan were written as such the planners could have insisted on fewer flats and mansions and more stuff in between.

Living in green belt I happily object to all big planning applications. We've a site near us of 500k studio and 1 bed flats and 7x 1.5m 5 bed houses. The entire site should be affordable 3 bed houses.
