Flat proposals put focus on guidance
Smulian, J.
Flat proposals put focus on guidance - 2005 - Planning (for the Natural and Built Environment) (1601) 7 January 2005, 14-15(2) .
Looks at an increasing trend where older houses are gradually being replaced by apartment developments, a trend reinforced by government demands for higher densities on brownfield sites. Objections to relatively small flat developments are twofold: increased density puts pressure on parking, services and amenities and too many blocks of flats replacing houses in a given area can permanently alter the area's streetscape and character. Reviews developments across the country and features how Solihull has used supplementary planning guidance to improve redevelopment proposals.
