KBR4: PUBLIC REALM AND HERITAGE FEATURES
Development proposals should seek to enhance the public realm. In particular, proposals should where possible:
- restore or replace damaged heritage street lights;
- remove non-heritage telephone boxes that are no longer used for their original purpose;
- remove utility cabinets that are no longer required or place them underground or in adjacent buildings to reduce obstruction to pedestrians; and/or
- improve paved open spaces (which may, where planning permission is required, include footways or carriageways) with high quality paving in keeping with that in the surrounding area, particularly where such materials improve durability and permeability and minimise urban heat island effects (noting that guidance is provided in Transport for London’s Streetscape Guidance on these matters).
