Co-Living Position Statement (WL)

 

 

Co-living is a relatively new model of housing with no standard definition in national policy. It is acknowledged that there is currently the potential for an inconsistent approach to Co-Living planning applications without formal, visible guidance on the issue. Therefore, we have produced an interim Position Statement which will clarify the Local Plan policies the Council will consider when assessing planning applications for co-living proposals, and how they will be applied. This Single member Decision seeks approval of the Co-Living position Statement.
