Support - Paragraph 4.7.8 We welcome the requirement for proposals to respond to local townscape and demonstrate a positive and appropriate response to key design features. It might be helpful to list some of the materials that would be considered appropriate eg locally distinctive materials/features that help to contribute to the character and unique local distinctiveness of the area and Mill Road CA in particular.
The brief could refer to the need for high quality design and good practice in relation to the public realm.
