PPS 12 Housing in Settlements·Page 30·84
Control of housing in established residential areas
Development plans may include policies to control housing development in established residential areas with townscape character, ensuring new housing respects environmental quality, residential amenity, and the established character of the wider area.
PPS 7 provides that development plans may include specific policies for the control of housing development in established residential areas, particularly those which display considerable townscape character. Amongst other things, it advises that such policies should seek to ensure that the form, density and character of new housing does not detract from the environmental quality, residential amenity and established character of the wider housing area.
