Single tenure social housing - scale thresholds

Depending on the scale and location of sites, it maybe considered appropriate to deliver small developments of single tenure social housing, in order to assist with city-wide targets. As a rule of thumb, in line with the Council's Planning Committee Scheme of Delegation, residential developments consisting of less than 12 units will be considered 'small scale' and are most likely to be deemed acceptable. Proposals for single tenure social housing consisting of 12 units or more, will only be permitted in exceptional circumstances.
