Policy H13 (Backland/infill Development)

Proposals for small scale infilling, including backland development, will not be permitted unless they comply with all of the following criteria:

  • the type, design, scale and density of the proposed new dwelling or dwellings are in keeping with the existing residential area;
  • appropriate access, amenity space and landscaping are provided for the new dwellings;
  • appropriate car parking provision is made in line with the aims of the integrated transport strategy;
  • the scheme is designed so that existing residential properties retain appropriate garden areas, they do not suffer from overlooking or loss of privacy, and there is no substantial loss of amenity due to the creation of new access roads or parking areas;
  • the proposal is not located within a residential area of exceptional character; and
  • the proposal optimises the potential for more comprehensive development of the area and will not result in the sterilisation of future residential land.
