CTY 2a – New Dwellings in Existing Clusters
This is a new category introduced in the final publication of PPS21 and allows for a dwelling to be applied for within an existing cluster of development provided all the following points are met:

  1. The cluster of development lies outside of a farm and consists of four or more buildings, excluding buildings such as garages, outbuildings and open sided buildings of which at least three are dwellings.
  2. The cluster appears as a visual entity in the local area
  3. The cluster is associated with a focal point such as a social / community building/facility, or is located at a cross-roads etc.
  4. The site provides a suitable degree of enclosure and is bounded on at least two sides with other development in the building cluster.
  5. The site can integrated into the existing cluster through rounding off and consolidation and will not significantly alter its existing character.
