LP 38 Loss of Housing
- Existing housing should be retained.
- Proposals for reversions and conversions should assess the suitability of the property and design considerations.
- Redevelopment of existing housing should normally only take place where:
- it has first been demonstrated that the existing housing is incapable of improvement or conversion to a satisfactory standard to provide an equivalent scheme; and, if this is the case
- the proposal does not have an adverse impact on local character; and
- the proposal provides a reasonable standard of accommodation, including accessible design, as set out in LP 35 Housing Mix and Standards.
