Addressing challenges facing the delivery of medium density housing
Tibbalds have carried out a short piece of research looking into the key challenges facing the delivery of medium density housing across the UK through literature review, case studies, and interviews with built environment experts.
This work was commissioned by the Office for Place before its closure in November 2024 and focuses on the ‘missing middle’ (a variety of housing types of 3-6 storeys, mostly developed by SME developers on complex brownfiled sites) that sits on a spectrum between standard, low density detached/semi-detached suburban or new town developments (<40 dph) and high rise apartment blocks of 7 or more storeys (100 dph).
