MHE15: Design
Development should be in accordance with the following principles as shown in the Urban Design Framework Plan (figure 5.8):
- Creation of a ‘gateway’ to the site near the Underground station, with local shops and offices focused around a new public space and enhanced pedestrian crossing;
- Creation of a high quality local high street which provides a link between this gateway and the heart of the site and an adjacent employment hub (see MHE CA4-5);
- Creation of three residential character areas which are responsive to the suburban character and setting of the development: Green Belt Edge, Central Slopes, Southern Hub. (see MHE CA1-3);
- Aligning parks and buildings and taking advantage of site topography to create a series of panoramic views from public green spaces across the site, but also to limit the impact on views into the site;
- Positioning community facilities and public transport stops to be within five minutes walking distance (400 metres) of most new residents.
