- Proposals should demonstrate a well-defined building line fronting the combined east-west street. Buildings should address the street, providing continuity and enclosure along the route, but broken at intervals by streets into the estate, so as not to appear as a fortress-like wall between the street and the estate beyond.
- Proposals should create a principal focal point in the estate. The most suitable location for this is at the intersection of the north-south and east-west streets.
- The massing and layout of proposals should enable visual connectivity from within the estate to the attractive surroundings of the playground and cemetery.
