15 Retention of Housing

The loss of housing land and dwellings will not be permitted except:

  • within General Employment Areas (subject to any specific provisions in Policy 31);
  • within residential areas where:
    • essential small scale social, community or leisure facilities would be provided; and
    • suitable alternative non-residential properties are not available;
  • within town centres and local centres where:
    • the units cannot reasonably be made self-contained; and
    • the site offers a very poor environment for residential accommodation; or
  • where overriding planning advantages would result.
