Policy WSM 22 |
Areas of restricted subdivision |
Core Strategy Policy CS15: Mixed and Balanced Communities |
Replacement Local Plan Policy H/6: Flats, conversions and housing in multiple occupation |
Policy Intentions:
|
|
Background Parts of Weston, comprised largely of older terraced housing, have over time experienced problems of subdivision of housing into flats. This has increased the density of these areas, led to social pressures and parking problems, a greater turnover of population and a decline in their environmental quality. The areas where these pressures are most acute have been identified and a policy approach proposed which seeks to resist further subdivision. |
Policy WSM 22: Areas of restricted subdivision
Within the Areas of Restricted Subdivision shown on the Proposal Map no further conversions from houses to self-contained flats will be allowed. Any further subdivision of flats previously converted will not be permitted.
A separate evidence paper has been produced detailing research to investigate the proportion of types and sizes of dwellings across North Somerset to inform the policies on mixed and balanced communities. The document can be viewed here.

Background The adopted West of England Joint Waste Core Strategy (JWCS) identifies a need for residual waste treatment capacity in the south west part of the West of England, including Weston, and allocates a strategic area B as an area of search, which includes the site at Aisecombe Way. It is appropriate that the Sites and Policies Plan allocates the specific site for waste management facilities, to include a new residual waste treatment facility and also replacement waste management facilities. The council identified a need for improved facilities for waste transfer and household waste recycling on the site. |
