National have committed to keeping most of the density rules they agreed to with Labour, with the tweak of giving councils a little more flexibility around where people can build up to three storeys. Overall a great move, and one that will hopefully have a downwards pressure on house prices.

They have also indicated they plan to build more state houses, as well.

Zoning is done by local councils but central government sets the entire framework for how they go about that, and can set national direction and standards to shape it

Do go on. I am anxious to hear about this.
