NP/HOU2 - FOOTPRINT, SEPARATION, SCALE & BULK

NP/HOU2.1

New development should respect the footprint, separation, scale, bulk and height of the buildings in the surrounding area generally and neighbouring properties in particular, unless it can be demonstrated that the proposed development would not harm local character.

NP/HOU2.2 

All new development should respect:

  • established building lines and arrangements of front gardens, walls, railings and use of green hedging and / or trees for highway boundaries, where such features are important to the character and appearance of the streetscape / area (see Character Assessment appendix)
  • established plot widths within streets where development is proposed, particularly where they establish a rhythm to the architecture in a street
  • Any new residential development including replacement dwellings, and also any side extensions to existing dwellings (where planning permission is required) will be expected to be set in a minimum distance of 1.5m from the side boundary of the property to avoid the creation of a terracing effect.
