Good Design Principles in PPS 1
Good design is identified as a key theme in Planning Policy Statement 1, promoting sustainable development, improving environmental quality, attracting investment, and reinforcing civic pride and sense of place.
The Quality Initiative and the need for good design are incorporated into Planning Policy Statement 1 'General Principles'. Together with sustainable development and mixed use these are indicated as key themes which underlie the Department's approach to planning. PPS 1 advises that: "Good design should be the aim of all those involved in the development process and will be encouraged everywhere. Good design can help promote sustainable development; improve the quality of the existing environment; attract business and investment; and reinforce civic pride and a sense of place. It can help secure continued public acceptance of necessary new development."
