DBE5 Design and layout of new development
Where new residential developments involve the creation of a new street system, or an extension to an existing system, the design and layout will be required to:
- be based on a pattern of buildings fronting public spaces;
- allow for the convenient movement of pedestrians and cyclists within the development; and
- encourage users to form clear, accurate images of the development and the routes through it.
In addition, where the site is of appropriate size, the design and layout should;
- create a series of contrasting public spaces; and
- comprise a series of interlinking routes focusing on a core area.
