CP13 Other Rural Settlements

New development within the confines of the following rural settlements will be restricted to minor development appropriate to the scale and character of the settlement. In the case of redevelopment or change of use of an existing building, development will only be proposed in the LDF, or otherwise permitted, if: the overall trip generation is projected to be lower than that associated with the former use; or if there is some significant improvement to the appearance, character and functioning of the settlement; or there is an exceptional local need for affordable housing in terms of Policy CP19.
