Structured masterplan approach - demonstrable outcomes
The masterplan must demonstrate how streets, spaces, building hierarchy, uses, movement networks, utilities, and connections to wider context are integrated.
In responding to these queries, the level of detail provided should allow for greater certainty and provide the basis for a structured masterplan approach which demonstrates; How streets, squares and public open spaces are connected. The hierarchy of building scale, height and massing. The relationship between buildings and spaces, clearly defining public and private areas and any impact on amenity. The range of uses and intended activities. The levels of movement through the site including desire lines and wider cycling and walking networks focusing on pedestrians and active travel with adequate provision made for public transport, vehicular movement and service access. All service provision requirements for utilities, including water, gas, waste etc. A greater understanding of how the proposal will connect and integrate with its wider context including surrounding communities and natural environment.
