Housing Balance

The Council will require all housing developments of 5 units and above to contain an appropriate mix of dwelling sizes in accordance with current identified needs for particular areas of the District, as set out in future Housing Need Surveys and Strategic Housing Market Assessments.

The Council will encourage the provision of housing for the elderly and for people with special needs, where appropriate whilst avoiding an undue concentration in any location.

The Council will resist an undue concentration of any one type of dwelling in a location that would cause an imbalance and adversely affect the community.

In assessing the proposed mix of dwellings the Council will have regard to the density ranges set out in policy CSP19, the demand for affordable housing and the character of the area, and may require the mix to be modified accordingly.
