Sustainable design
Our sustainable design supplementary planning document provides detailed guidance on implementing sustainable design principles in development projects within the district.
It supports our adopted planning policies by promoting environmental sustainability, enhancing quality of life and making sure that new developments contribute positively to the local community and environment.
Key aspects include energy efficiency, waste management, parking requirements, separation and amenity standards and design quality.
The document is a key reference for developers to ensure they deliver high quality sustainable development in new developments across the district.
