Policy EN1 (Standard of Design)

Development proposals are required to reflect a high standard of design and must be compatible with and/or improve their surroundings in terms of:

  • scale;
  • height;
  • massing/Bulk;
  • layout;
  • siting;
  • building form and design;
  • architectural style;
  • materials;
  • access points and servicing;
  • visual impact;
  • relationship to nearby properties;
  • relationship to mature trees; and
  • relationship to water courses.

These factors will be assessed in the context of each site and their immediate surroundings. Poor designs which are not in keeping with their surroundings and schemes which result in over-development of a site will be refused.
