Policy
The applicant must demonstrate that all houses will be provided with private outdoor spaces that meet the functional needs and wellbeing of the occupiers.
Policy
The proposed layout must be informed by a site wide landscape strategy, that includes landscaping proposals, sustainable drainage systems and biodiversity net gain requirements which comply with the best practice guide and coding requirements set out in the ‘Landscape, Nature and Public Realm’ section of this code.
Policy
The layout of two storey dwellings must ensure that a minimum of 21 metres is provided between major facing windows across private gardens. For major facing windows across a highway, separation distances must accord with the context of the street and the established building line. A minimum separation distance of 15 metres between blank gables and habitable room windows must be provided.
Policy
A separation distance of 10.5 metres between main windows and rear garden boundaries must be provided.
Policy
Bins should be stored to the rear of the dwelling or where this is not possible, to the side. Bin storage to the front of dwellings will only be permitted if a well designed concealment solution, within a dedicated structure, is proposed. Waste collection vehicles must be able to get to within 10 metres of the collection point.
Policy
All new homes must be designed to meet Building Regulations M4(2) Category 2: Accessible and adaptable dwellings. Building Regulations M4(3) Category 3: Wheelchair user dwellings must be provided in accordance with the New Trafford Local Plan.
Policy
All dwellings must provide accessible external areas, footways and paths that are clear, direct and clutter free.
Policy
Locate car parking where there is the most accessible route to the main entrance, a route which is step-free, level and free from obstruction. This may need to be from the street or parking courtyards so consider the route people take outside of the private boundary.
Policy
The elevations of new houses must reflect the surrounding context, achieve appropriate width and height proportions and be coherent so they are aesthetically pleasing and can be easily understood when viewed. The design of houses must also replicate the proportion and composition of elevations along a street to create rhythm.
Policy
The principal elevation, including the building entrance, must face the street. Where corner plots face two public sides, windows should be on both elevations.
