Development Control Frequently Asked Questions

These issues are currently under review as part of the Local Development Framework.

In the saved policies of the Local Plan under policy H11 we state:

Many of the residential parts of the Borough exhibit a particular character, be it maturity, spaciousness, attractive or consistent style of buildings, the use of particular types and colours of materials, regular building lines and heights, distinctive style and appearance, individual frontages, trees, landscaping, etc., which should not be damaged or lost. Any further development in such areas could severely damage the high quality character and environment of these areas. In other areas, there may be capacity to accommodate small amounts of new development but only where proposals are of a scale, density and design that would not cause damage to the qualities, character and amenity of the areas in which they are situated.
