Design specifics policies

Large-scale, intensively used buildings, including tall buildings, are likely to have greater impact than other building types because they tend to be more visible and generate a lot of movement and activity. They therefore need to be flexible and adaptable, and of exemplary design, in line with the above policy, in addition to the requirements of Policy 4B.1. Where Environmental Impact Assessments are required, they must include accurate visual modelling of proposals. Areas in and adjacent to World Heritage Sites will be particularly sensitive in these respects.
