Residential development that, is in accordance with other policies and proposals of the Plan, will be permitted where the proposal promotes
sustainable development objectives by:-
a) providing a network of streets, cycle paths and footpaths within the site which are linked to existing streets, cycle paths and footpaths to
reduce the need to travel and reduce the distance travelled by private car;
b) connecting to an existing public transport route to ensure the site is served by alternatives to the private car;
c) ensuring public and private space is designed to encourage social/community interaction;
d) including a mix of uses and house types to introduce variety and interest in the street scene;
e) using topography and aspect of the site to maximise solar gain and reduce energy consumption; and
f) ensuring that natural resources and materials, which exist throughout the life of the development, are reused and re-cycled whenever possible.
The size and location of the site will be a consideration when assessing the degree to which a site can incorporate each of the elements listed
above.
