HP04: Specialist Accommodation
The Council will grant permission for proposals which contribute to the delivery of Specialist Accommodation, provided that the development:
- meets demonstratable need;
- is readily accessible to public transport, shops, local services, community facilities and social networks and, where appropriate, employment and day centres; and
- would not result in the over concentration of any one type of accommodation.
Subject to viability, where accommodation falls within use class C3 an appropriate proportion of affordable housing in accordance with Policy HP05 Affordable Housing will be required with a mix of tenures to meet identified needs.
A condition may be imposed restricting occupation to persons requiring specialist accommodation where deemed necessary.
Where a need for Gypsy and Traveller pitches are identified by the Council, Policy HP10: Proposals for Gypsies, Travellers and Travelling Showpeople Windfall Sites would apply.
