H(a) Protection of Existing Housing

Planning permission will only be granted for a change of use or redevelopment that would result in the net loss of housing in the following circumstances:

  • Where it is not possible to achieve the required quality of provision through redevelopment without a net loss of dwellings;
  • Change of use is to another form of housing consistent with Policy H(d) (Supported Housing);
  • Change of use is to guest houses and bed and breakfast accommodation; or
  • Where a reasonable standard of accommodation cannot be attained in the larger town centres.
