Overview

Residential Layout and Redevelopment Planning Guidance Note Introduction The principal aim of establishing this guidance is to ensure a successful residential layout, i.e. a living environment which is attractive, functional, efficient, safe and secure and which will stand the test of time. This guidance note is not intended to stifle architectural freedom, but sets out the principles and criteria which will be applied in the assessment of the layout and design of new development and redevelopment. Where development is proposed in Conservation Areas and Townscape Protection Areas, applicants are advised that higher standards of design will be required in these areas. Particularly high standards of design are also expected within the grounds/settings of Listed Buildings.

Residential layouts should provide a safe and secure environment by ensuring that car parks and footpaths, play areas and public open spaces, or other potential gathering areas, are well lit and overlooked from houses. Layout and planting should not create secluded or dark areas. Waste Management in Flatted Developments In flatted developments of 10 or more units, underground bin storage and recycling facilities should be provided. In flatted developments of less than 10 units, bin storage and recycling facilities should be appropriately designed, adequately screened and located close to the main vehicular access.
