DM23: Development and Construction
The Council will promote high standards of development and construction throughout the borough by:
- Ensuring that future development, that may be liable to cause or be affected by pollution through air, noise, dust, or vibration, will not be detrimental to the health, safety and amenity of users of the site or surrounding land;
- Ensuring that developments are air quality neutral and do not lead to further deterioration of existing poor air quality;
- Ensuring mitigation measures are put in place to reduce the adverse impacts to acceptable levels. Where necessary, the Council will set planning conditions to reduce the impact on adjacent land uses to acceptable levels, relative to ambient noise levels and the character of the locality; and
- Encouraging the use of sustainable and innovative construction materials and techniques in developments.
