Policy
Developments must demonstrate implementation of play streets in low-traffic residential areas and ‘School streets’ along routes adjacent to schools.
Policy
Cycle parking and multi-functional street furniture should be integrated into the existing built environment in an attractive way, through appropriate materials and screening.
Policy
Shared surfaces must be used along high streets and low-traffic residential streets and:
Policy
All streets must be multi-functional. This means serving more functions than movement of vehicles, such as seating, planting, play, pedestrian and cycle movement, SuDs, growing etc.
Policy
All new development must meet ‘Secured by Design’ standards. There may be some guidance which conflicts with other design goals and these should be acknowledged and resolved on a caseby- case basis.
Policy
New public spaces must be over-looked and active frontages be provided to all streets and open spaces, with entrances and windows, or active ground floor uses located to enable overlooking of the street.
Policy
Public spaces must be provided with street furniture to animate spaces and enhance safety of people using them.
Policy
Designs must ensure natural surveillance through increased visibility and encouraging activity throughout the day.
Policy
Public spaces which people may reasonably expect to use after dark must be well lit within lighting designs that consider the pedestrian experience. Lighting of public spaces must be of an appropriate level that only lights the space and not the sky, so that they are perceived as safe to use after dark. Special design solutions may be required where there are local constraints on illumination e.g. Sensitive ecology.
Policy
Formal play / activity space must be located in well-overlooked locations.
