I saw the question as complex and multipartite, to wit:

(1) Does leaving the dough to rise longer result in a lighter loaf?

(2) If this is not the case could I please get tips for making lighter
white yeast breads. =20

(3) I don't know if sourdoughs are supposed to be light or heavy....

(4) but if both apply please advise on how to do both.

Your question(s) inspired some discussion, and some links were
given. It would be difficult to conclude that a yes or no answer=20
was in the cards for your particular question(s).

I would like to ask you this, Julie from North Ireland: Did you
feel that any of the discussion in the thread which followed your
inquiry was useful?
