Design and Sustainability SPD
In July 2018 the council adopted a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) on Design and Sustainability. The SPD:
- Provides a positive framework for seeking to improve design standards, enhance the well-being of residents and increase the sustainability credentials of the borough.
- Consolidates condenses, updates and enhances the previous version and draws on experiences from developments in the borough.
- Addresses a broad range of design and sustainability issues, from strategic design considerations, down to the detailed design of individual buildings and extensions.
