CS11: Quality of Neighbourhood Design
Within settlements and neighbourhoods, development should:
- respect the typical density intended in an area and enhance spaces between buildings and general character;
- preserve attractive streetscapes and enhance any positive linkages between character areas;
- co-ordinate streetscape design between character areas;
- protect or enhance significant views within character areas;
- incorporate natural surveillance to deter crime and the fear of crime; and
- avoid large areas dominated by car parking.
The quality of neighbourhood design in towns and large villages will be reinforced through a Supplementary Planning Document on Urban Design.
