New Homes from Old Places
Introduction
The New Homes from Old Places Residential Conversion and Sub-Division Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) was adopted by Blackpool Council on the 23
rd March 2011.
The SPD provides design guidance on the conversion or sub-division of properties for residential use, expanding on key saved Local Plan Policies HN5, HN6 and RR9 and future replacement policies in the Blackpool Core Strategy. It will be instrumental in lifting all aspects of quality in standards of accommodation, enhancing the residential offer across Blackpool (especially the resort neighbourhoods), promoting sustainable communities and creating homes where people want to live.
The SPD supersedes SPG 10 ‘Change of Use of Holiday Accommodation and Conversion of Properties to Permanent Residential Use and Holiday Flats’ (1999).
A separate Consultation Statement details the public consultation undertaken in preparation of the SPD and summarises the main issues raised during the formal consultation period and how these were addressed in the Adopted SPD .
