Summary comments<br />
English Heritage requested an<br />
explicit reference to tall<br />
buildings inserted at the end of<br />
policy DM 1 to state: 'Any<br />
proposals for tall buildings<br />
should meet these criteria, as<br />
well as having regard for<br />
criteria set out in English<br />
Heritage/CABE's Guidance on<br />
Tall Buildings (2007).'.<br />
English Heritage suggested<br />
text changes to DM 1 and DM<br />
4 to ensure the definition and<br />
words used in the policy<br />
reflected and clearly linked to<br />
PPS5.<br />
A number of developers sought<br />
clarification on what was<br />
required in a landscape plan<br />
and if outline applications<br />
would need to submit one.<br />
They also suggested that these<br />
could be conditioned and not<br />
asked for at the start of the<br />
process.<br />
Response/Action<br />
DM 1 was amended<br />
accordingly<br />
DM 1, DM 4 and supporting<br />
text were amended accordingly<br />
Landscaping should be<br />
considered from the start of the<br />
design process. Outline<br />
planning application should<br />
submit a landscape plan and<br />
it should contain as much detail<br />
as is given about the buildings.<br />
Details are provided in the<br />
Submission version about what<br />
a Landscape Plan should<br />
demonstrate.<br />
