BE6 New Development Within Gate Hill Farm and Copsewood Estates Areas of Special Local Character

Within the areas of special local character at gate hill farm and copsewood estates fencing should be unobtrusive and in materials appropriate to the character and appearance of the estate, new houses should:

  1. Be constructed on building plots of a similar average width as surrounding residential development; and
  2. Be constructed on a similar building line (formed by the front main walls of existing houses) and be of a similar scale, form and proportion as adjacent houses; and
  3. Reflect the materials, design features and architectural style predominant in the area and sufficient architectural variety must be achieved within new development in order to retain the areas’ characteristics of large individually designed houses.
