HO-5 Design Features

As appropriate to their scale and location, proposals for new residential of commercial developments should:

  • Be in keeping with existing nearby properties and maintain the essential character of the town in accordance with the Neighbourhood Plan Character Assessment study. These are summarised in section Vision A of the plan and expanded in Potton NP – Annex D Character Assessment.
  • Apply the best practice design features in accordance with the Neighbourhood Plan Design Guide requirements. These are expanded in Potton NP – Annex E Design Guide and Annex F Green Infrastructure Design Guide.
  • Take account of vernacular building materials in the immediate locality and incorporate such materials where practicable into the construction of new buildings and boundary treatments
