2.18.6 The Design and Access Statement also sets out the indicative layout,
landscaping, vehicle routes, open spaces, densities, phasing,
densities, sections and scales to assist in demonstrating how the site
could accommodate the number of units proposed.
2.18.7 In terms of designing out crime the applicants have confirmed the
general approaches relating to areas of open space, footpath links,
parking provision, boundary treatments, locating of rear gardens, use
of defensive planting and fenestration design in terms of the building
layouts, internal spaces and use of dual aspects buildings.
2.18.8 In commenting on these general principles North Yorkshire Police have
noted “the developer has now provided details of how crime prevention
is being considered in respect of the design and layout of the proposal
in order to comply with Planning Policy Statement 1. The Police
Architectural Liaison Officer goes on to state that he welcomes the
positive comments made by the developer in respect of ‘designing out
crime’.
2.18.9 As such the approaches outlined in the D&A are considered
appropriate to the site’s location and it is considered that appropriate
account and reference has been made in defining the design approach
for the site to the existing settlement and surrounding development
including the Redrow and Persimmon Phase 1 schemes. In terms of
materials then the D&A includes an assessment of surrounding
development and materials for the units and that these can be agreed
via condition or as part of the later reserved matters submissions.
2.18.10 On this basis it is considered that the scheme is acceptable and in
accordance with Policy ENV1 of the Local Plan and reflective of the
overall design principles in the Development Brief.
2.19 Amenity of the occupiers of Adjoining Properties
2.19.1 As the application is in outline form then the impact on the occupiers of
the existing adjoining properties has to be considered in the context of
the matters to be determined and informed by the approaches outlined
in the D&A and shown on the Indicative Master Plan.
