Housing Mix Requirements for Apartment Developments

When considering an appropriate mix of unit sizes within an apartment development, cognisance should be paid to the overall housing mix requirements for Belfast over the plan period (see Section 4.3 above). However, it should also be recognised that there is a historic tendency to provide smaller apartments and larger houses for the general market, so there is likely to be a specific need to provide larger apartments suitable for family occupation in order to deliver balanced and sustainable communities.
