development design process and in public realm improvement projects: Design should aim to enhance landscape and boundaries. Soft boundary treatments including hedges are encouraged. In such instances security fencing should be screened by planting. Retain important trees, vegetation and open spaces, planning for new tree planting to ensure continuity of tree cover and a diverse age structure. Consider the planting of larger trees at key visual locations and where they would help soften the appearance of larger buildings and areas of hardstanding. Development and management decisions should seek to reduce the impact of Character Areas ASCOT GROUP parking provision and access through sensitive design. Parking areas should be provided behind and to the side of buildings to help reduce its dominance from public areas, particularly from outside the estate (e.g. from adjacent residential areas). Consideration should also be given to landscape planting to frame or ‘foil’ parking areas. The establishment of new and improved pedestrian and cyclist routes. Use design to create visual interest including the use of subtle variation in heights and roof pitches. The apparent scale of large buildings may be reduced through the use of a light, muted palette of earth and sky colours in material finishes. There are 3 local character areas in the Ascot Group (comprising North Ascot, Ascot, Sunninghill, Sunningdale and Broomhall). These are: 17A South Ascot Station Sidings 17C Sunningdale Station Sidings 17B Bridge Road Depot, Sunninghill Two of these areas are located on former railway sidings (17A and 17C) and all are located close to the railway. These areas are typical of the generic industrial and commercial estates type in terms of urban form, with development in large plots, accessed by roads terminating in dead ends. Architecture varies depending on the date and type of development, for example Area 17A South Ascot Station Sidings contains commercial brick built units dating from the 1930s, but also includes some more modern business park development while Area 17B Bridge Road Depot, Sunninghill is a particulraly industrial area containing a gas holder. It is screened by Lombardy Poplars. 17C Sunningdale Station Sidings consists of late 20 th century large-scale sheds including a metal clad car sales showroom and a brick built superstore. All of the generic guidance applies to these areas. Typical native tree species in these areas include Oak, Birch, Scot's Pine, Beech and Sweet Chestnut.
