Village design statements
Village Design Statements are a form of planning guidance to inform the design of new development. Their aim is to encourage developers and householders to design new buildings or extensions (and other elements such as fences and outbuildings) so that they are in keeping with existing local character. A key aspect of Village Design Statements is that they are written and researched by local communities, with only advisory input from the district council, and so represent a community view of how new development should be designed in order to retain a sense of place.
When adopted, Village Design Statements become Supplementary Planning Guidance which means they are a consideration which the council must take into account when determining planning applications.
