Policy
Small variations in building heights should be used to add visual interest to the street and to avoid mass repetition within a settlement.
Policy
In developments where the proposed heights of buildings differ from those of existing ones, massing should be used to create a smooth transition between scales.
Policy
An uplift in scale should be used for landmark buildings and focal centres containing community uses or facilities in key locations.
Policy
Applications which locate taller, apartment blocks to the edges of the site will not be accepted unless located adjacent to existing tall buildings.
Policy
Increased building heights should be used along streets higher up the street hierarchy (e.g. Market Streets - see Section 4.6). This is order to enhance legibility and create variety of character.
Policy
Proposals must avoid insensitive extensions and alterations which deviate from the general scale and height of the surrounding area.
Policy
New buildings heights must not result in any unreasonable loss of light or privacy for neighbours, or future residents.
Policy
Tall buildings should only be provided within the largest centres and within new district centres, subject to visual impacts.
Policy
A tall building should form part of a comprehensive development of a large site where it can contribute to the wider vision of an area.
Policy
Tall buildings should be well justified and perform a clear place-making role such as to act as a landmark, which marks a prominent place in the urban fabric, enhances the skyline and aides legibility.
