DBE1 Design of new buildings

The Council will require that new buildings:

  • respect their setting in terms of scale, proportion, siting, massing, height, orientation, roof-line and detailing;
  • are of a size and position such that they adopt a significance in the streetscene which is appropriate to their use or function; and
  • only employ external materials which are sympathetic in colour and texture to the vernacular range of materials.
