Representation Summary:

The policy focuses too much on high-quality architectural design and townscape, at the expense of a variety of environmental, social and economic factors that should have a strong influence on the design of sustainable development. (Q7)
The policy should be redrafted to include many of the criteria currently included in DM4 and in Sections 8.4- 8.11 (Addressing Resource Minimisation And Carbon Emissions) of the CAAP.
