5 Housing mix

The Council will support development proposals that provide a mix of dwelling types, sizes and tenures.

All housing schemes should include a proportion of family sized homes and reflect the recommended housing mix identified in Table 4 unless it can be robustly demonstrated that a variation to the mix in Table 4 is justified having regard to individual site circumstances including location, site constraints, viability and the achievement of mixed and balanced communities.

Where proposals are seeking to provide retirement, sheltered or extra care housing, the Council recognises that there may be a need for greater flexibility with regard the mix of units to be provided within developments and the housing mix as set out in table 4 does not apply to such proposals.
