Ensuring that new development protects soil, air and water quality from all types of pollution. 8. Ensuring developments minimise energy and water consumption, the use of non-renewable resources, and the amount of waste material. (PC6. 90) 9. Steering development to areas of least environmental and agricultural quality. (PC6.91) Design Quality Introduction 7.71 Government Policy and Guidance recognises that good design is a key element in achieving sustainable development through creating attractive, useable, durable and adaptable places that people want to live in (PC 6.92). To build upon the District’s rich environment and restore areas in need of regeneration, good urban design, landscape design and high quality architecture that respects local heritage are essential. This will assist with developing vibrant safe places with a distinct identity that provide healthier places for those living, working or visiting the District. Context 7.72 The Council shares the objectives of government policy to create places, streets and spaces which meet the needs of people, are visually attractive, safe, accessible, functional, inclusive, have their own distinctive identity and maintain and improve local character. 7.73 Good design ensures attractive, usable, durable and adaptable places and is a key element in achieving sustainable development. The District is an attractive place to live and work, with its high quality countryside and vibrant towns and communities, with distinctive character and historic assets. Developers are expected to bring forward sustainable and environmentally friendly new housing developments. Design which is inappropriate in its context, or which fails to take opportunities available for improving the character and quality of an area and the way it functions will not be accepted. 7.74 Spaces between built developments are equally important and new open spaces should improve the quality of the public realm through good design to create places where people can meet and socialise (PC 6.93).. - 115 -
