DBE3 Design in Urban areas
Outside the Green Belt, new development will be required to ensure that:
- all spaces between and around buildings are deliberately created to be functional, attractive and safe for their intended users;
- spaces are of individual identity and character and are satisfactorily enclosed;
- public, private and semi-private spaces are clearly discernible to their intended users;
- the informal supervision of public and semi-private spaces around buildings by their occupiers is encouraged; and
- front elevations face outwards onto public spaces and contain the main entrances.
