49C.(1) For the purposes of this regulation, qualifying communal development is the amount of communal development (calculated in accordance with paragraph (4)) which is for the benefit of the occupants of more than one qualifying dwelling.

(2) Subject to paragraph (3), development is communal development if it is development for the benefit of the occupants of more than one qualifying dwelling, whether or not it is also for the benefit of the occupants of relevant development.

(3) Development is not communal development if it is—

(a)wholly or partly made up of one or more dwellings;

(b)wholly or mainly for use by the general public;

(c)wholly or mainly for the benefit of occupants of development which is not relevant development; or

(d)to be used wholly or mainly for commercial purposes.

(4) The gross internal area of any communal development that is qualifying communal development must be calculated by applying the following formula—

Social housing ancillary development

where—

X = the gross internal area of the communal development;

A = the gross internal area of the qualifying dwellings to which the communal development relates; and

B = the gross internal area of the qualifying dwellings and the relevant development, provided that the communal development is for the benefit of those dwellings and that relevant development.

(5) In this regulation, “relevant development” means development which is granted permission by the same planning permission as the qualifying dwellings in question, but which does not include the qualifying dwellings or the communal development.]
