Design Advice for building and other development  

To help with the consideration of design solutions before submitting your application, we have produced a series of six short, easy to read leaflets, offering guidance on appropriate design and materials.

The leaflets cover:

PDF icon (PDF Help 827kb)
PDF icon (PDF Help 290kb)
PDF icon (PDF Help 471kb)
PDF icon (PDF Help 617kb)
PDF icon (PDF Help 942kb)
PDF icon (PDF Help 585kb)

Although these leaflets only offer informal advice, it is hoped that you will find them helpful in the short term.  In due course, it is intended that they will be replaced by more comprehensive advice on sustainable design as part of the Local Development Framework.

Advice on Plans & Drawings

This leaflet offers advice on what should be included in your drawings and plans to be submitted with your application.  It explains how to work to a metric scale and contains illustrations showing good examples of elevations and other drawings.
