![]() ![]() As a broad example, if this were concentrated, it would equate to a city of a similar scale and population to Bradford or Liverpool. Assuming an average household population of 2.3 (Eurostat, 2014) and an average density of up to 40 dwellings per hectare for a ‘garden city’ character (CABE, 2005), this would result in new accommodation for up to 460,000 residents across an area of up to 6,750 hectares/ 67 km2 (excluding supporting facilities). Rather, given the potential capacity that could be created through new town development and the consequential impact on existing urban and rural areas, it could even be argued that 25% is conservative.Ĭonversely, once these figures are translated into population and area, the impact of potential development at such a scale is immediately apparent. Coupled with the pioneer projects, the total number of new homes that could be delivered under the garden settlement initiative would be up to 270,000, which is almost 25% of the 2020 quota.īased on this, a ‘silver bullet’ it is not. ![]() Assuming that each of the twelve garden villages will generate an average of 5,750 homes and a further six garden cities will generate up to 16,500 homes, the second wave of new settlement development could deliver a minimum of up to 170,000 new homes. In addressing the necessity for another prospectus, the DCLG note that up to 100,000 new homes had been created by the 2014 programme at an average up to 16,500 homes per new city.
