H4A Dwelling Mix

The Council will require that provision is made for a range of dwellings, including an appropriate proportion of smaller dwellings, to meet identified housing need on a site-by-site basis. This mix should be reflected in both market housing and affordable housing. When considering extensions to, conversions or amalgamations of, existing dwellings, needs identified in the latest Housing Needs Survey will be considered to ensure that an adequate mix of dwellings is maintained. The Council may therefore refuse planning permission for extensions to, or conversions of, existing dwellings where the result will adversely affect the range and mix of dwellings available.
