DM 21 Meeting Local Housing Needs

We will grant planning permission for specialised forms of residential accommodation subject to the following requirements being met:

  • That the application documentation includes clear and robust evidence that demonstrates that there is a need for the new accommodation; and
  • The delivery of the new accommodation does not result in an over-provision of that particular type of accommodation; and
  • The design of the proposal is demonstrated as being sufficiently flexible to readily accommodate conversion to other appropriate uses, either residential or non-residential, in the event that the need for the permitted use declines.
