DBE11 Sub division of properties
The subdivision of residential properties to flats, maisonettes or some other form of multiple occupation will be granted planning permission provided the development will not:
- be likely to result in such an intensification of use which would create an undesirable precedent or detract from the character of the surrounding area; or
- be likely to result in excessive noise and/or disturbance to residents of either the new dwellings or neighbouring ones; or
- result in adjacent properties being overlooked to an excessive degree; or
- involve the loss of important garden space in order to create the requisite number of car parking spaces.
