NP3: Rural Exception Sites

Proposals for the development of Rural Exception Sites outside of but adjacent to the identified settlement envelopes for a total of up to 40 dwellings will be supported provided the following criteria are met:

  1. The site is small in scale – no more than 10 dwellings – and in a sustainable location well related to an existing settlement;
  2. Meet an identified local affordable housing need, identified through a housing needs survey or by the CBC Housing Register;
  3. Should remain affordable in perpetuity through a Section 106 legal agreement or Unilateral Undertaking;
  4. The design should respect the character of its surroundings;
  5. The development may include a small proportion of market housing, subject to site specific viability testing
