Design and Townscape Guide - Refresh 2009 (Consultation Draft)

Representation ID: 38

The draft generally represents a step in the right direction. It may however be the case that there is still insufficient weight behind some of the core principles especially limiting climate change, preserving the Green Belt and producing a desirable environment to live in.
