    Judging by 2-3 bed new builds I've seen, it definitely is the floor space - not a high enough population density. One development near us is for 156 semi and detached houses, all with driveways and planned green space to be built in an area that was cleared of 1930's housing in 1990's, under a hundred houses were demolished. They are so much smaller than the originals.

    without knowing the planning consent how can you possibly know that?

    of course a bungalow will be relatively expensive and it may be that the builders decided that there would be no demand at that price

    but there is insufficient info to say either way
