BHL4 Household Sizes

A range of household sizes will be required in new developments in the interests of creating a mixed community. Our standard requirements are set out in Development Management Policy DM5 (Housing Mix). Cases in Blackhorse Lane where we will consider deviating from this include:

A) Site BHL1 (Station Hub and Waterfront) and Site BHL2 North (Car Wash Site); a higher proportion of one and two bedroom properties will be acceptable; provided that proposals offer generous room sizes and amenity space. In the interests of securing a high quality scheme at these landmark locations, at least 30% of dwellings at this site should have 3 or 4 bedrooms.

B) More peripheral locations, such as Site BHL7 (Billet Works); where a higher proportion of family housing will be sought.
