HO2 HOUSING CONVERSION AND RETENTION
The council will:
- Permit conversions of existing dwellings into two or more dwellings where:
- the net floor area of the original dwelling is more than 120m2 ;
- at least 50% of the proposed units consist of two or more bedrooms;
- housing appropriate for families has access to any garden or amenity space; and
- there is no adverse impact on on-street parking stress.
- Resist proposals which would result in a net loss of permanent residential accommodation as a result of redevelopment or change of use without replacement (measured by floorspace), including to short stay accommodation.
- In streets where there is less than 10% night-time free space the number of additional dwellings may be restricted or conditioned to allow no additional on-street parking.
Residential conversions that result in an increase in the number of high quality family size dwellings will be supported, particularly where the reinstatement of a family house can be achieved.
