Representation Summary:
Issue DM1 Design of Developments
Context, p16/17
English Heritage welcomes the Borough Wide Character Study that is being commissioned. We would be pleased to advise on the brief or, if the study is already underway, to comment on the draft report.
We agree with the statement that the density of new schemes should arise from the design rather than be imposed as a constraint at the beginning.
We note on page 17 that you encourage pre-application discussion involving the local planning authority and the local community. Engagement with other stakeholders and environmental bodies, including English heritage should also be encouraged, where appropriate.
