There are no visual examples of textareas on http://govuk-elements.herokuapp.com/form-elements/. As a result different services have included their own custom textarea styles for width and height resulting in inconsistencies across applications.

A standard textarea with class form-control inherits the 50% width desktop, 100% width mobile as per text inputs, but they seem to only be high enough to show 2 lines

There are visual examples of textareas here: http://govuk-elements.herokuapp.com/form-elements/example-form-elements/

Our recommendation would be to ensure that the textarea is sized according to the response required - so rather than make these a default recommended height - they can vary in height to best fit the response.

I'll ensure this guidance is added to the main form elements page, thanks for suggesting it.
