This document considers the existing site analysis and site influences. It sets out the design development of the site, reviewing the options considered and the issues associated with the site that has led to the submitted scheme. The issues considered in the document include the details of the proposed framework landscaping, road infrastructure and ground remodelling works, and scale parameters for future buildings. Detail site layouts, design of buildings, design of the on plot landscaping, appearance and materials will be subject to separate Reserved Matters applications. We have developed a separate Design Code document which indicates how these elements will be developed when specific plots are brought forward for planning permission. Please note that although diagrams are included in the document, they are not to scale. This statement accords with the national information requirements set out in the National Planning Practice Guidance and the form and content of Design and Access Statements which are prescribed by the Town & Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015.
