Core Strategy Issues & Options

Representation ID: 18674

Respondent: Fairview New Homes Ltd.

Agent: RPS Planning

Representation Summary:

Fairview New Homes acknowledge that new developments should seek the highest standard of design possible. However, Fairview New Homes would recommend that any policy that comes forward ensures that the wording of such a policy provides clarity in terms of the definition of 'High Standard of Design'. PPS1 (Planning and Sustainable Design) states that Planning Authorities should prepare robust policies on design and the PPS identifies good standards of design with regards to issues such as access and the built environment. These should be referred to in any policy.
