Character AreasSandgate is a diverse parish with its buildings originating from many distinctarchitectural periods. As a result buildings and streets exhibit an attractive andunusually rich range of characteristics and styles.Development pressures in the past have however unfortunately resulted inschemes which have often failed to reflect the scale, quality and detailing oftheir immediate built context. Many of such developments were classified asnegative buildings in the Sandgate Conservation Area Appraisal. This situationis of great concern to the local community which values, and works activelyto protect, Sandgate’s environment, amenities and sense of place. It is theoverarching aim of this Design Statement therefore that such inappropriatedevelopments cease and that the character and appearance of the parish, itsstreetscapes and its exceptional environmental setting is acknowledged andrespected in all new development here.Given the wide variety of architectural styles and built characteristics acrossthe parish it was decided to divide the parish into different Character Areas forthe purpose of this Design Statement, each being made up of streets ofbroadly similar architectural style and origins with its own particular identityand coherent sense of place.Each Character Area has been surveyed by local residents during thepreparation of this document and the results have been discussed and agreedwith a wide range of agencies and statutory consultees. The following pagesset out the dominant and distinctive characteristics of each of these Areas;characteristics which the Design Statement urges new development to respectand reflect.SDS 5Character AreasDevelopment should beappropriate to the scale,materials, ridge heights,boundary treatments anddetailing of its Character Area,with attention to ornamentation,doors and door canopies,windows, rooflines, massingand orientation while notpreventing or discouragingappropriate innovation. Inparticular the scale ofnew buildings should beappropriate to the setting suchthat they do not overwhelmneighbouring properties. Aconfused application ofarchitectural styles or historicimitation inappropriate to thebuilt context of the site will notbe acceptable. Massing andorientation should ensure thatphysical barriers closing viewsto the sea or the woodedescarpments are not created.SDS 6Street SceneDetailingFor all applications in theParish developers shouldprovide elevation drawingsto scale that accurately showthe proposed developmentin relation to neighbouringbuildings, its overallsurroundings and the streetscene in order to ensure thatnew development reflectsand enhances the builtcharacter of the CharacterArea in which it is locatedand respects the rooflineand building height ofadjacent buildings.16 SANDGATE DESIGN STATEMENT 2013
