SPPS - Good Design and Place Making
Good design should create safe, attractive places to live that are accessible to all and achieves sustainable development in residential settlements.
An additional core principle seeks to support good design and positive place making, and in respect of 'Housing in Settlements', the SPPS acknowledges that good design contributes to the creation of places to live that are safe and attractive and is also a key element in achieving sustainable development. It states that Councils should bring forward local planning policy or guidance for achieving quality in residential development and that help create environments that are accessible to all.
