RTC3 DESIGN AND APPEARANCE OF DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE THAMES POLICY AREA
Development will not be permitted within the Thames Policy Area as shown on the Policies Map, unless it:
- respects the riverside, including the foreshore, context and heritage assets;
- is of a high standard of accessible and inclusive design; and
- maintains or enhances the quality of the built, natural and historic environment.
The council will encourage the greening and naturalising of the river bank and/or flood defences with reference to the Thames Estuary 2100 Plan to create habitats for wildlife and improve the visual attractiveness of the area. Schemes that meet these requirements, and, by their design, contribute to creating an attractive, safe and interesting riparian environment will be welcomed. The council will require the submission of a design and access statement as part of a planning application within the Thames Policy Area.
