Part Two
Design Specifics
This part of the book provides more detailed advice on how to approach design in everyday planning work. It focuses on specific types of development, such as housing and tall buildings; matters that planners need to assess, such as environmental impacts and landscaping schemes; and types of places that planners may be working on, such as town centres or town extensions. Finally, it advises on the design matters that might be seen as falling outside planning control, but which have a significant impact on the success of places that planners influence, such as streets and public spaces. Each of the topics has a chapter of its own, where the main design conundrums and solutions are set out. Each chapter includes illustrations and a list of top tips.
