Although the housing yield calculation of the Housing LAA would result in 3 dwellings, the site may be able to accommodate a higher yield of 5 dwellings. This is due to the fact that there is an existing building with two dwellings approved on site, a higher density in the surrounding area and the planning history with applications promoting 17 (16/00748/FL, withdrawn) or 20 dwellings (15/00623/FL, withdrawn) respectivley on site.
