H2: Residential Development.
Residential development, including infill development, the sub-division of garden plots, minor redevelopment schemes and the development of vacant plots, must meet the following criteria:
- (a) the development would not have an unacceptable adverse effect on the character of the locality, the appearance of the street scene, or the amenities enjoyed by the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings;
- (b) off-street parking and access arrangements can be provided for both existing and proposed dwellings, in accordance with the adopted Harlow Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) and adopted Vehicle Parking Standards;
- (c) the development would make adequate provision for refuse storage and collection;
- (d) the development would not prejudice the potential for comprehensive development of adjacent land.
