H3 - Residential Subdivision

Within the built confines of existing settlements proposals for the subdivision of residential properties into smaller units which meet the following criteria will be permitted:

  • the building would be structurally suitable for subdivision;
  • the proposal, including any extensions, hard standing, enclosure or other ancillary element would reflect the form, integrity and character of the building and its surroundings; and
  • Suitable parking and access arrangements could be achieved.

Within the Green Belt the conversion of a residential property into smaller units will be permitted where the above criteria are met and where the proposal (including any ancillary works such as car parking provision) would not have a materially greater impact on the openness of the Green Belt.
