DM 22 Housing Mix

We will grant planning permission for new residential development proposals that incorporate a mix of dwelling sizes and tenures that meet identified local needs.

In order to meet this objective we will require all residential development proposals for four or more units be comprised of a minimum of 25% three bedroom, or more, units. We will consider exceptions to this approach where it can be demonstrated that such a mix would be inappropriate to the location or endanger the viability of the proposal.

On sites particularly suited to larger-sized family houses, we will encourage the proportion of units having 3 or more bedrooms, as specified above, to be exceeded.
