3.19 The scheme's affordable provision is in excess of the affordable housing target of<br />
the Core Strategy, London Plan <strong>and</strong> DM LP 2013; officers raise no objection to this<br />
element of the proposed development.<br />
DESIGN <strong>and</strong> CONSERVATION<br />
3.20 Among the core planning principles of the NPPF are that development always<br />
seek to secure high quality design <strong>and</strong> a good st<strong>and</strong>ard of amenity for all existing <strong>and</strong><br />
future occupants of l<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> buildings. Furthermore proposals should conserve heritage<br />
assets in a manner appropriate to their significance, so that they can be enjoyed for<br />
their contribution to the quality of life of this <strong>and</strong> future generations. London Plan<br />
Policies 7.1, 7,2. 7.4. 7.5 <strong>and</strong> 7.6 require all new development to be of high quality that<br />
responds to the surrounding context <strong>and</strong> improves access to social <strong>and</strong> community<br />
infrastructure, contributes to the provision of high quality living environments <strong>and</strong><br />
enhances the character, legibility, permeability <strong>and</strong> accessibility of the surrounding<br />
neighbourhood.<br />
3.21 Core Strategy Policy BE1 `Built Environment' states that 'All development within<br />
the borough, including in the regeneration areas should create a high quality urban<br />
environment that respects <strong>and</strong> enhances its townscape context <strong>and</strong> heritage assets.<br />
There should be an approach to accessible <strong>and</strong> inclusive urban design that considers<br />
how good design, quality public realm, l<strong>and</strong>scaping <strong>and</strong> l<strong>and</strong> use can be integrated to<br />
help regenerate places'.<br />
3.22 Policy DM G1 (Design of New Build) of the DM LP 2013, seeks to ensure that new<br />
build development to be of a high st<strong>and</strong>ard of design <strong>and</strong> compatible with the scale <strong>and</strong><br />
character of existing development <strong>and</strong> its setting. It states that:<br />
'All proposals must be designed to respect:<br />
a) the historical context <strong>and</strong> townscape setting of the site, <strong>and</strong> its sense of place;<br />
b) the scale, mass, form <strong>and</strong> grain of surrounding development;<br />
c) the relationship of the proposed development to the existing townscape,<br />
including the local street pattern, local l<strong>and</strong>marks <strong>and</strong> the skyline;<br />
d) the local design context, including the prevailing rhythm <strong>and</strong> articulation of<br />
frontages, local building materials <strong>and</strong> colour, <strong>and</strong> locally distinctive architectural<br />
detailing, <strong>and</strong> thereby promote <strong>and</strong> reinforce local distinctiveness;<br />
e) the principles of good neighbourliness;<br />
f) the local l<strong>and</strong>scape context <strong>and</strong> where appropriate should provide good<br />
l<strong>and</strong>scaping <strong>and</strong> contribute to an improved public realm; <strong>and</strong><br />
g) sustainability objectives; including adaptation to, <strong>and</strong> mitigation of, the effects<br />
of climate change;<br />
h) the principles of accessible <strong>and</strong> inclusive design; <strong>and</strong><br />
i) the principles of Secured by Design.'<br />
3.23 Policy DM G7 (Heritage <strong>and</strong> Conservation) of the DM LP 2013 states that the<br />
council will '....aim to protect, restore or <strong>and</strong> enhance the quality, <strong>and</strong> character,<br />
appearance <strong>and</strong> setting of the borough's conservation areas <strong>and</strong> its historic<br />
environment, including listed buildings, historic parks <strong>and</strong> gardens, buildings <strong>and</strong><br />
artefacts of local importance <strong>and</strong> interest, archaeological priority areas <strong>and</strong> the<br />
scheduled ancient monument'.<br />
3.24 Design Policies 1 <strong>and</strong> 45 - 50 of the <strong>Planning</strong> Guidance SPD 2013 are also<br />
relevant. Finally, the NPPF (Conserving <strong>and</strong> enhancing the historic environment) states<br />
that In determining planning applications, local planning authorities should take account
