Urban design involves the design of buildings, groups of buildings, spaces and landscapes, in villages, towns and cities, and the establishment of frameworks and processes which facilitate successful development.
Building and Landscape Design|
Attractive and lively buildings, streets, parks and neighbourhoods, especially those with a mixture of compatible uses and historic character, all contribute to making the area a special place which is a pleasure to live in.
The quality of our surroundings is also now recognised as a vital factor in attracting and retaining businesses, employers and tourists.
Areas of special architectural or historic interest with a character or appearance which it is to be preserved or enhanced.
How conservation areas are designated and how this affects planning permission.
Guidance on how you can agree a solution with your neighbour about high hedges that are causing a problem.
Landscape Character Assessment|
Landscape Character Assessment is a technique that has been developed to help with organised analysis, description and grouping of the landscape.
A building, object or structure that has been judged to be of national historical or architectural interest.
Enable local planning authorities to protect important trees.
We are developing an urban design framework which sets out design objectives for the borough and provides guidance for the development of projects. It aims to highlight local identity and transform the borough into a high quality environment through the planning process.
