Design Flexibility for Constrained Development Footprints
Applicants may use creative design schemes, including multi-level arrangements, to accommodate development on constrained sites, but must fully demonstrate why alternative sites are unsuitable, unavailable, or unviable.
Flexibility may be adopted in seeking to accommodate developments onto sites with a constrained development footprint. For example, through use of creative and innovative design schemes, including multi-level schemes, or smaller more efficient trading floors/servicing arrangements. Applicants will be expected to identify and fully demonstrate why alternative sites are not suitable, available and viable.
