Planning Policy & Conservation - Supplementary Planning Guidance:
Residential Development in Settlement Areas - Development Control Guidelines

The Council approved the Supplementary Planning Guidance: "Residential Development in Settlement Areas - Development Control Guidelines" on 23rd October 2002.

The Guidelines amplify the guidance in Policy H18 of the Surrey Heath Local Plan 2000 which sets out criteria on the how the layout and design of planning applications for one or more residential units will be considered by the Council.

The Guidelines cover 3 broad themes:

· The character and quality of the street scene.
· Impact on neighbours and residents.
· Specific planning factors such as landscape features and nature conservation.

As part of the preparation of the Guidelines, a consultation exercise was undertaken involving local residents associations, amenity societies, housing developers and government bodies.
