The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version e incorporate best practice in resource management and climate change mitigation and adaptation f provide high quality indoor and outdoor spaces and integrate well with the surrounding streets and open spaces g be adaptable to different activities and land uses, particularly at ground level h meet the principles of inclusive design i optimise the potential of sites 7.21 Architecture should contribute to the creation of a cohesive built environment that enhances the experience of living, working or visiting in the city. This is often best achieved by ensuring new buildings reference, but not necessarily replicate, the scale, mass and detail of the predominant built form surrounding them, and by using the highest quality materials. Contemporary architecture is encouraged, but it should be respectful and sympathetic to the other architectural styles that have preceded it in the locality. All buildings should help create streets and places that are human in scale so that their proportion and composition enhances, activates and appropriately encloses the public realm, as well as allowing them to be easily understood, enjoyed and kept secured. The building form and layout should have regard to the density and character of the surrounding development and should not prejudice the development opportunities of surrounding sites. 7.22 A building should enhance the amenity and vitality of the surrounding streets. It should make a positive contribution to the landscape and relate well to the form, proportion, scale and character of streets, existing open space, waterways and other townscape and topographical features, including the historic environment. New development, especially large and tall buildings, should not have a negative impact on the character or amenity of neighbouring sensitive land uses. Lighting of, and on, buildings should be energy efficient and appropriate for the physical context. 7.23 The massing, scale and layout of new buildings should help make public spaces coherent and complement the existing streetscape. They should frame the public realm at a human scale and provide a mix of land uses that activate its edges and enhance permeability in the area. New buildings should integrate high quality urban design ensuring an appropriate balance between designing out crime principles and appropriate levels of permeability. Consideration should also be given to the future management of buildings in their design and construction. 7.24 New buildings should achieve the highest standards of environmental, social and economic sustainability by meeting the standards of sustainable design and construction set out in Chapter 5 and by being consistent with the existing or planned future capacity of social, transport and green infrastructure. POLICY 7.7 LOCATION AND DESIGN OF TALL AND LARGE BUILDINGS Strategic A Tall and large buildings should be part of a plan-led approach to changing or developing an area by the identification of appropriate, sensitive and Page 212 of 310
The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version inappropriate locations. Tall and large buildings should not have an unacceptably harmful impact on their surroundings. Planning decisions B Applications for tall or large buildings should include an urban design analysis that demonstrates the proposal is part of a strategy that will meet the criteria below. This is particularly important if the site is not identified as a location for tall or large buildings in the borough’s LDF. C Tall and large buildings should: a generally be limited to sites in the Central Activity Zone, opportunity areas, areas of intensification or town centres that have good access to public transport b only be considered in areas whose character would not be affected adversely by the scale, mass or bulk of a tall or large building c relate well to the form, proportion, composition, scale and character of surrounding buildings, urban grain and public realm (including landscape features), particularly at street level; d individually or as a group, improve the legibility of an area, by emphasising a point of civic or visual significance where appropriate, and enhance the skyline and image of London e incorporate the highest standards of architecture and materials, including sustainable design and construction practices f have ground floor activities that provide a positive relationship to the surrounding streets g contribute to improving the permeability of the site and wider area, where possible h incorporate publicly accessible areas on the upper floors, where appropriate i make a significant contribution to local regeneration. D Tall buildings: a should not affect their surroundings adversely in terms of microclimate, wind turbulence, overshadowing, noise, reflected glare, aviation, navigation and telecommunication interference b should not impact on local or strategic views adversely E The impact of tall buildings proposed in sensitive locations should be given particular consideration. Such areas might include conservation areas, listed buildings and their settings, registered historic parks and gardens, scheduled monuments, battlefields, the edge of the Green Belt or Metropolitan Open Land, World Heritage Sites or other areas designated by boroughs as being sensitive or inappropriate for tall buildings. LDF preparation E Boroughs should work with the Mayor to consider which areas are appropriate, sensitive or inappropriate for tall and large buildings and identify them in their Local Development Frameworks. These areas should be consistent with the criteria above and the place shaping and heritage policies of this Plan. 7.25 Tall and large buildings are those that are substantially taller than their Page 213 of 310
