§ Lord Howie of Troonasked Her Majesty's Government:
What is the proposed housing density at the Millennium Village development in Greenwich; and how it compares with the housing density in the Hampstead Garden Suburb or another comparable area. [HL3528]
§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (Lord Whitty)The Greenwich Millennium Village occupies a site of 14.6 hectares. The proposals are for the eventual construction of 1,377 dwellings. This results in a housing density of just over 94 dwellings per hectare. I understand that when Hampstead Garden Suburb was laid out the density ranged from eight to 12 houses per acre, depending on the type of housing involved. This corresponds to approximately 20 to 30 houses per hectare.
