Tenure Blind Development - Design Requirements

Closely aligned to the issue of mixed tenure is the term 'tenure blind.' This essentially means that there should be no visual distinction between tenures (particularly in the external specifications and finishes) and any external design differences should be minimal, including any variations in the broad dimensions and appearance of private open space across tenures, particularly from street frontages. The affordable housing element of the scheme shall therefore be designed to be indistinguishable from market housing.
