Representation ID: 58211

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Universities Superannuation Scheme (Retail)

Agent: Deloitte

Representation Summary:

USS supports the overarching ambitions of proposed policy GP/PP. However, USS recommends that as the policy is developed consideration is given to ensuring that there is sufficient flexibility for well-designed and high quality buildings to come forward even if they are taller than the surrounding townscape. High quality taller landmark buildings can have a positive impact on their setting by adding to the townscape and this should be allowed for within the policy.
