urban design
Village Design Statements and their urban counterparts, Neighbourhood Design Statements, are documents prepared by local communities to provide development design guidance to developers and householders.
These documents are usually adopted by a local authority as statutory planning guidance and it is helpful for residents to use the services of professional facilitators such as Peter Baker Associates.
The process involves workshops and field studies with local residents to describe the character of their area and provide guidance for development which respects the best of what exists and enhances where needed.
