City of Bradford Metropolitan District CouncilLocal Development Framework For Bradford3.0 LANDSCAPE DESIGN3.1 Landscape Design Principles3.1 Before development commences on site, the developer will be required to submit, andhave approved by the Council, a detailed landscape design for the site. This should bebased on the survey and appraisal and be consistent with the overall context described inthe Outline Landscape Plan, unless convincing arguments can be put to the contrary.3.2 The detailed layout should address the following issues:LandscapeDesignPrincipals1) The layout and design should be appropriate to the area and establish abuilt environment of quality and variety, which integrates retaining localdistinctiveness of the built form within the landscape.2) Consideration should be given to the use and form of space whenplanning the site3) The layout should maintain and enhance the diversity and character ofthe established vegetation on the site and utilises it where appropriate forshelter and passive enjoyment and habitat creation. Reference should bemade to the Postcode Plant Database:http://www.nhm.ac.uk/nature-online/life/plants-fungi/postcode-plants/4) Where appropriate the layout should provide an integrated, attractive andsafe environment for pedestrians, cyclists and those with disabilities5) Consideration should be given to ‘designing out crime’ – e.g. by notcreating screening which could conceal anti-social or criminal activity, or byusing thorny ‘deterrent’ shrubs to prevent access onto the site.6) Where appropriate (i.e. mainly for housing developments) there may be arequirement to provide recreational open space within the layout andconsideration should be given to integrating any such provision into thedevelopment7) Consideration should be given to the maintenance of hard and softlandscaping in the future8) The surface water drainage system should minimise run-off and utilisenatural and sustainable drainage systems where appropriate. The use ofinnovative green technology such as green roofs needs to be considered.APPENDIX 4Landscape Character Supplementary Planning DocumentOctober 2008 Page 91
