Policy information sourced from the Mayfair Neighbourhood Plan
MD: Design
MD1:
Proposals for new development in Mayfair will only be supported where they are of the highest quality design.
MD2:
Proposals for new development in Mayfair should have regard for the following:
- Where the application is required to be accompanied by a Design and Access Statement 92, the DAS must include evidence of how the developer and its design team has responded to Mayfair’s character and heritage, in terms of the significance of the Conservation Area, and the setting of listed buildings in the vicinity.
- All proposals should consider their impact on the character and appearance of Mayfair and/or Regent Street Conservation Areas, and on nearby listed buildings and their settings.
MD3
Proposals will be supported where their design reflects the existing character of Mayfair, in terms of its heights, scales, and uses. Departures from the existing character within the Conservation Areas will only be permitted where design of the highest quality has been proposed and independently verified, and where compliance with other policies in this plan has been demonstrated.
MD4
Applications that include provision for external electrical wires, aerials, plant and equipment such as air conditioning units, CCTV, burglar alarm boxes and satellite dishes should be hidden from view, or, if this is not possible, have their visual impact minimised.
