Policy
Focal lighting should emphasise entrances and porches, making them safe and inviting.
Policy
Proposals must locate noisy activities in sufficient proximity to dwellings for safe access, but far enough away to minimise disturbance.
Policy
Homes and buildings car and cycle parking must be located close to the entrance of the corresponding property to maximise overlooking and therefore safety.
Policy
Homes and buildings main entrances must face the street and clearly articulate building elevations to maximise visibility from the public realm.
Policy
New homes and buildings must clearly define the front and rear of dwellings, incorporating safe and attractive public realm or private gardens, and shared amenity space.
Policy
Homes must avoid creating left over space in order to ensure land efficiency, and minimising the ambiguity of ownership.
Policy
Developments including new buildings and extensions and alterations to existing buildings must maximise opportunities for natural lighting and ventilation.
Policy
Single aspect, north facing dwellings must be avoided. All homes should be dual aspect.
Policy
Proposals must demonstrate that they will not result in overshadowing, a loss of privacy or an oppressive or overbearing impact, including noise on neighbouring properties. See https://www.essexdesignguide.co.uk/design-details/architectural-details/daylight-and-sunlight/
Policy
All new dwellings must achieve a minimum average daylight factor (ADF) target value of 1 per cent for a bedroom and 1.5 per cent for a living room.
