The SPD strengthens existing rules like the 10% cap, bans conversions of family homes into shared spaces, and protects gardens from noise and overlooking — all while clarifying how to apply the Local Plan without introducing new policies. After facing legal concerns and public pushback, the council has refined the document to avoid past pitfalls, with a June 30 deadline looming. Councillor Rhys Cory-Lowsley praised the collaborative effort with local groups to balance development and community needs — and Cabinet will vote on final approval this Thursday.
