HOU5 Residential windfall developments in the countryside p177. Windfalls, the Parish Council supports the criteria for assessing non-isolated windfall sites in rural settlements. We consider that existing buildings which no longer fulfil their original purpose could be converted into dwellings.

HOU7 p180 This policy is supported provided that the criteria listed are met and is sound.

CPRE supports this policy. The final part of the policy relates to the use of planning obligations to remove permitted development rights and to ensure the existing dwelling is removed. CPRE believes it would be sufficient to rely on conditions, rather than planning obligations.
