CS13: Quality of the Public Realm
New development will be expected to contribute to the quality of the public realm by:
- providing active frontages and natural surveillance;
- promoting clutter free streets by removing unnecessary signs and utilising multi-purpose street furniture;
- promoting pedestrian friendly, shared spaces in appropriate places;
- incorporating a coherent palette of sustainable surface materials, planting and street furniture;
- including an interactive and stimulating realm with public art and appropriate lighting; and
- incorporating suitable trees, living walls and soft landscaping.
