Western Urban Area Character SPD
Background
The Western Urban Area of the borough has a distinctive patchwork of areas with specific character. New development has not always respected the character of the area it is located in. At times the Council has had difficulty in resisting development that is out of keeping with its surroundings because of a lack of detailed policy guidance on character issues.
The Western Urban Area Character SPD has been prepared to fill this policy gap. Specifically, the SPD sets out to give guidance to the development industry, the Council and the public on how to ensure that local context has informed the design of new development in the Western Urban Area.
