Objective for Residential Area Redevelopment and Infill
The primary aim when assessing redevelopment and infill proposals in residential areas is to prevent unacceptable damage to environmental quality, density, and privacy for existing residents. Such proposals must be evaluated against relevant planning policy and guidance.
The overriding objective in such areas should be to avoid unacceptable damage to the environmental quality, density and privacy enjoyed by existing residents. Proposals for the redevelopment of existing dwellings and infill development in residential areas will be assessed in the context of prevailing planning policy. Relevant policy and guidance includes PPS1 'General Principles'; PPS 7 'Quality Residential Environments'; PPS 8 'Open Space, Sport and Outdoor Recreation'; 'Creating Places: achieving quality in residential developments'; and DCAN 8 'Housing in Existing Urban Areas'.
