Appendix (if it is necessary at all) merely used to explain the statutory<br />
background to the document. A6 and A7 could also be usefully introduced into<br />
the main document.<br />
If this Appendix is to remain in its present form, it needs to be made clear not just<br />
that it provides general advice but that the advice is <strong>District</strong>-wide and not specific<br />
to North Duffield.<br />
At B4 – the first sentence is helpful. The remainder is not. Is it the <strong>Council</strong>’s,<br />
position that asymmetric drawings or street scene views are essential to<br />
accompany a planning application?<br />
Whilst it is accepted that every encouragement should be given to good design<br />
and the use of appropriate materials, the advice at Appendix B generally<br />
appears over-prescriptive unless applying to conservation areas and listed<br />
building.<br />
Jennifer Hubbard There are conflicts between Appendix B (encouragement of modern<br />
development) and the Parish <strong>Council</strong>-written sections of the VDS.<br />

Para A2: VDS should contain a greater depth of specific design information and<br />
detail about how this can be achieved. The VDS touches briefly on certain<br />
design issues without offering any substance to guide the developer/designer as<br />
to what is appropriate and acceptable in the context of the village.<br />
Para A6: Design And Access Statement – explain what it is and provide an<br />
example.<br />
The appendix is titled “General advice for<br />
prospective developers” so it is clear it is<br />
general advice.<br />
The guidance sets out how to improve a<br />
planning application submission – nowhere<br />
does it state that it is policy to request such<br />
things.<br />
Disagree – good design should not be the<br />
sole preserve of listed buildings and<br />
Conservation Areas. Every area should be<br />
treated with the utmost respect. The advice<br />
in the VDS attempts to do this.<br />
Disagree - The VDS sets the context of the<br />
existing village. Modern development is<br />
encouraged where it is respectful to the<br />
existing character. Achieving an appropriate<br />
balance is the aim of the VDS.<br />
No text is submitted to suggest such greater<br />
depth. The VDS sets out the existing broad<br />
character (and in the context of North Duffield<br />
this character is simply that variety is key). It<br />
is not intended to prescribe or dictate what<br />
should be done in the future.<br />
The annex is not exhaustive – it s a simple<br />
guide to some common issues. The VDS<br />
need not explain every last detail as<br />
information about Design And Access<br />
Statements is freely available on the web.<br />
Para A6 “Where a site lies on the “border of 2 or more character areas” suggests Disagree – it clearly states “2 or more”. It<br />
