To approve the revised Fareham Borough Design Guidance Supplementary Planning Document (excluding Welborne) for adoption.
This report summarises the background and rationale for the production of the Fareham Borough Design Guidance Supplementary Planning Document (excluding Welborne) for adoption.
The Local Plan Part 1: Core Strategy, through Policy CS17: High Quality Design sets out key design principles that should be adhered to in all proposals in the Borough. Further policies relating to environmental impact and impact on living conditions are set out in policies DSP2: Environmental Impact and DSP3: Impact on Living Conditions of the adopted Local Plan Part 2: Development Sites and Policies Plan. The Design Guidance sets out in greater detail how proposals will be expected to fulfil these key design principles and policies, whilst having due regard to national standards and Planning Practice Guidance (PPG).
The adopted Design Guidance Supplementary Planning Document will be a material consideration in the determination of planning applications and will also provide helpful guidance to householders undertaking works that do not require planning permission. The Guidance has been prepared in a format that is accessible to all members of the community.
