Sutton - H&BEP1 Local Character and Sense of Place

H&BEP1 Local Character and Sense of Place

All development shall make positive contribution to the character of Hackbridge and Beddington Corner. Proposals shall:

respect the scale and density and appearance of the suburban setting of the neighbourhood’s building, areas of special local character and other heritage assets. Within the ‘Area of Taller Building Potential’ higher buildings are acceptable in principle.
where appropriate use innovative solutions to achieve good quality design and reduce the environmental impact of the development.
adopt design principles which maximise access to natural light.
maximise access to green spaces and for high density developments, use green walls and roofs to achieve this (see Policy EP7 – Urban Greening).
improve the character and quality of the public realm, including through public art and use of appropriate colour.
include proportionate evidence that is material to the proposal in question which demonstrates that these requirements, where relevant, have been satisfactorily addressed.
