H1 Delivering a Mix of Housing and Design

  1. Proposals for new housing development will be supported where:
    1. they include a range of dwelling sizes, including family housing to meet local needs.
    2. In town centre locations, the design is for medium density mansion block townhouses, built around a traditional street layout
    3. they achieve the highest standards of accessible design to cater for life-time adaptation, minimum space standards and exceptional design quality in line with Policy BE2.
    4. their impact on the provision for social infrastructure including education, health and community facilities, based on population projections from new developments is mitigated through appropriate mechanisms.
    5. Deliver biodiversity net gains
  2. For major development co-design approaches with the community to ensure the delivery of acceptable development proposals and the development of holistic masterplans and design guides of sufficient detail to enable the scheme to be understood and supported locally are encouraged.
  3. The redevelopment of existing bungalows which cater for the elderly and/or disabled residents will be resisted.
