Policy
Historic boundary treatments must be retained and new openings kept to a minimum.
Policy
The design of commercial and non-residential buildings must provide architectural interest and articulation to elevations and profile.
Non-residential and commercial buildings must incorporate active frontages at ground floorlevel on principal elevations.
Policy
Entrances should be well formed, inviting and integral to the building design. They should be in keeping with the scale of the building and be obvious on approach, offering an inviting and impressive arrival.
Policy
Proposed primary materials must reflect the dominant material palette from the surrounding context.
Policy
Vary the texture and modulation of cladding materials.
Policy
Surface parking must be well landscaped and allow for natural surveillance and easy access to the buildings it serves
Policy
Undercroft parking must be obscured from view from the street, form an integral part of the overall elevation design, with vehicle access points limited and active frontage maximised.
Policy
Where basement parking is considered to be acceptable, it must not be located on a principal elevation and must be integral to the overall architecture of the building. Retaining walls must be kept to a minimum and designed to minimise the visual impact on the external appearance of the building, the site and streetscene. A high quality landscaping scheme must form part of the overall design proposal.
Policy
Cycle parking must be provided in a covered, secure and easily accessible location.
