SL19: Housing Mix and Size Requirements
Development proposals of 10 or more (net) additional dwellings will be required to contribute to meeting the Housing Market Area’s identified housing needs by generally providing a housing mix as set out in the Strategic Housing Market Assessment or any similar evidence for market and affordable units.
Development proposals which depart significantly from the required mix of housing will only be supported where evidence demonstrates that such a mix would not be feasible or viable.
It will be expected that all new studio, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom residential units (under use class C3) across all tenures will meet with the minimum space standards as set out in the table below.
Minimum gross internal floor areas and storage space expected in new developments (sqm).
| Number of bedrooms (b) | Number of bed spaces (persons) | 1 storey dwellings | 2 storey dwellings | 3 storey dwellings | Built in storage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1b | 1p | 39 (37)* | 1.0 | ||
| “ | 2p | 50 | 58 | 1.5 | |
| 2b | 3p | 61 | 70 | 2.0 | |
| “ | 4p | 70 | 79 | 2.0 | |
| 3b | 4p | 74 | 84 | 90 | 2.5 |
| “ | 5p | 86 | 93 | 99 | 2.5 |
| “ | 6p | 95 | 102 | 108 | 2.5 |
Where a 1b1p has a shower room instead of a bathroom, the floor area may be reduced from 39sqm to 37sqm, as shown bracketed.
