ARCHITECTS

All new proposals for housing should seek to create areas which have a distinctive character related to the local setting - areas which will give people pride and a sense of community and belonging.  It is essential to understand the setting of a site so that the resulting layout and design is informed.    
The starting point is to appraise the features of the site and surrounding area to determine the natural and built environment.  Design and Access Statements should be used to enable a full and considered assessment of the site.
