DD4 Development in Residential Areas

DD4 DEVELOPMENT IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS

Residential development, extensions and/or alterations to existing buildings and other non-residential development will be allowed where:

there would be no adverse effect on the character of the area or upon residential amenity;
the scale, nature and intensity of use of the proposed development would be in keeping with the surrounding area;
no detrimental effect upon highway safety would result and adequate provision for the parking and manoeuvring of vehicles associated with the proposed development is made whilst preserving the character and amenity of the area;
there would be no significant loss of dwellings in the area or loss of land needed for new housing;
a community service or environmental benefit to local residents would be provided where justified; and
it does not conflict with other Plan policies.
