POLICY BTC16: URBAN DESIGN

The Council will expect all new developments in the AAP area to be of a high standard that reflect the principles of good architecture and urban design and, thereby, contribute to a dramatic improvement in the physical environment of the Plan area. In order to achieve this, the Council will expect all schemes to take full account of:

  • The detailed design guidelines set out in the Barking Town Centre AAP Urban Design Guidance SPD and the Barking Station Masterplan SPD.
  • The Character Appraisals that the Council has produced for the Abbey Road Riverside and the Abbey and Barking Town Centre Conservation Areas.
  • Design approaches set out in the various non-statutory master plans produced for specific parts of the Plan area.
