Clustering of tall buildings and orientation
Tall buildings should generally be located within existing clusters or as part of a planned cluster, with holistic consideration of area development. Clustering can aid city legibility and orientation but may raise concerns about cumulative impact on heritage assets.
The clustering of tall buildings can contribute to the legibility of the city and aid orientation. However clustering can also raise potential concerns with regard to the cumulative impact of tall buildings, particularly in relation to the setting of heritage assets. New proposals for tall buildings should generally be located within existing clusters of tall buildings or form part of a planned cluster, where consideration has been given holistically to the development and regeneration of an area.
