AS-En3: Retaining Character

All developments should be visually integrated with their surroundings and designed with regard to the character of the surrounding area (see also Policy AS-H5).

Larger developments of five or more houses should include a mix of building styles where that is appropriate to the character of their surroundings.

All developments should be designed to include gardens and/or green space that maintains or enhances the character of the local area.
