LP 40: Housing Mix.

1. Proposals will be supported which include a mix of housing to meet the existing and future housing needs of different groups in the community, including specialist housing for older people, informed by the most up to date evidence.

  • All residential developments, including conversions of 10 or more dwellings (gross) will be expected to provide a range of types and sizes with an emphasis on family homes outside Bracknell Town Centre.
  • Developments of fewer than 10 units will be encouraged to provide types and sizes of dwellings that reflect local needs.

2. The dwelling mix referred to above does not apply to developments of specialist housing, including for older people in the form of housing with support or housing with care.

3. In determining any variation from the housing mix, type and size, the Council will have regard to:

  • the site’s size;
  • individual site circumstances including the character of the area and physical building constraints in relation to any conversions; and,
  • site specific viability.
