HC1: Housing Mix

  1. To promote the mix of housing needed within the Neighbourhood Plan area, particularly for affordable housing, the Plan supports the following:
    • development that increases the provision of affordable housing in line with the Local Plan and national planning policy;
    • the development of larger, three or more bedroom units, for social rented housing;
    • the inclusion of small self-contained dwellings, either studio or 1 or 2 bedrooms, in market housing development.
  2. Housing conversions will not be supported which would result in the loss of dwellings except in certain circumstances mentioned in 8.6 above. Small self-contained dwellings, either studio or 1 or 2 bedrooms are particularly crucial in the Plan area for providing more affordable housing.
  3. The Plan supports the community-led housing in providing affordable homes and other community assets.
