TMLC supports the overarching ambitions of proposed Policy GP/PP in that development should take into consideration the area in which it is located. However, TMLC recommends that as the policy is developed consideration is given to ensuring 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.
