LRPHOU1: Development on Brownfield Land.
1. Proposals for development on previously developed land (brownfield land) outside of the countryside that make effective and efficient use of land and which meet the following criteria will be permitted:
- a. Where the site has poor environmental value; and
- b. If the proposal is for residential development, the density of new housing proposals reflects the character and appearance of individual localities and is consistent with policy LPRHOU5 unless there are justifiable planning reasons for a change in density.
2. In exceptional circumstances, the residential redevelopment of previously developed land in the countryside which meet the above criteria will be permitted provided the redevelopment will also result in:
- a. meeting the policy requirements as set out elsewhere in this plan
- b. and the site is, or can reasonably be made, accessible by sustainable modes to Maidstone Urban Area, a Rural Service Centre or Larger Village or provides bespoke working from home space.
