Creating places: design guide
The importance of placing good design at the heart of all new development is increasingly being recognised and reinforced. Salisbury District Council has produced this guide to advise people on design for all developments, whether they be large housing estates, commercial premises or small extensions.
This guide will assist anyone involved in the planning and design process. It will help them know what makes a successful development and what should be covered within their proposals.
Creating Places was formally adopted as Supplementary Planning Guidance at a Full Cabinet meeting on 5 April 2006 following a full public consultation exercise. It is expected to be integrated into the Council’s forthcoming Local Development Framework as a Supplementary Planning Document.
A limited number of hard copies are available at a cost of £60 or on CD for £10.
