Masterplanning Approach Requirements for Major Development

Setting out a masterplanning approach for new major developments should outline a comprehensive plan of how an area can potentially be developed in accordance with the aspirations set out within the Local Development Plan, addressing areas such as: • How consideration has been given to wider site adjacencies. • How the design principles advocated can contribute to successful places. • The quality of buildings and associated spaces proposed. • How these are connected to create unique and memorable places. • How they respond and adapt to surrounding natural and historic environment. • How they promote sustainable principles. • How the process engages with local people in a meaningful way.
