Development within the conservation area should be limited, in keeping with the surrounding structures and be sympathetic to the area. Any development within the Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty should be severely limited and be sympathetic to the surroundings. It must also enhance its value as Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty so that the level of enjoyment of the area is not diminished and can still be appreciated by all who visit. A primary consideration should be the scale of any proposed building. Scale is the relative dimensions and proportions of the elements of a building compared with each other and with other buildings nearby and the surrounding environment. Brixham has buildings in a wide variety of sizes and it is important that the scale of any new building suits its surroundings. For instance, in a large development of bungalows dwellings should be of a similar size. A house would look completely at odds with the surrounding properties, as would a large block of flats amongst a row of conventional houses. Scale relates not only to a building, but also to the space between it and its neighbours. New buildings should have the same impression of space around them as the existing, surrounding ones. Scale is also relevant to extensions to buildings as it would be inappropriate if the original building was dwarfed by the new extension. The interaction between any new developments sites and the road infrastructure should be taken into account at the design stage. New streets created on new development sites should be named by residents of the town through the Brixham Town Council in order to ensure that the heritage and history of the town is acknowledged and made more relevant by being linked with new developments.
