DC2: Replacement Dwellings in the Countryside
The Council will support the principle of replacement of existing dwellings in the countryside subject to proposals complying with the following criteria:
- There would be no net increase in the number of dwellings;
- The replacement dwelling is not disproportionately larger in scale and massing than the original unless the proposed dwelling would result in an improvement to the character of the area; and
- The replacement building is sympathetic to the setting of the site within the countryside and would reinforce local distinctiveness.
Relevant national and local policies will apply to developments within the Green Belt.
Planning permission will not be granted for the replacement of temporary dwellings, mobile homes, caravans or other dwellings constructed of short life materials, with a permanent dwelling.
