  • Langley Road - 11 to 23, 29 to 87, 105 to 149, 149a, 151 to 163 odds, and 12 to 52, 60 to 74, 82 to 100, 106 to 166, 172 to 200, 208 to 218, 224 to 250, 256 to 282, 286 to 326, 334 to 350 evens;

  • Upton Court Road - 101 to 157 odds and 4 to 102, 102a, 104 to 166 evens.

Development proposals will not be permitted which would have a detrimental impact upon the character and amenity of residential units included within the Residential Area of Exceptional Character, as shown on the Proposals Map, as a result of:

  • the conversion of single dwellings into flats;
  • the redevelopment of sites to produce higher densities;
  • backland development;
  • infilling;
  • change to a commercial use, including hotels and nursing homes;
  • the construction of new road access;
  • extensions of either a residential or commercial nature which would change the scale and nature of the property; or
  • subdivision of corner plots to create additional housing land.

Where the replacement of a residential dwelling with another is allowed within these designated areas, it will only be permitted if it complies with all of the following criteria:

  • the new dwelling is built within the existing plot and is of the same type and scale as that originally on site;
  • the scheme is in keeping with the design and character of dwellings in the vicinity which are included within the designated areas; and
  • the proposal retains those features which are important to the site and street scene, such as existing trees, shrubs, hedges, fences and walls.
