  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: B2.21

• None

  Policy

  In developments where the proposed heights of buildings differ from those of existing ones, massing should be used to create a smooth transition between scales.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: B2.22

• None

  Applications which locate taller, apartment blocks to the edges of the site will not be accepted unless located adjacent to existing tall buildings.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: B2.24

• None

  Policy

  Increased building heights should be used along streets higher up the street hierarchy (e.g. Market Streets - see Section 4.6). This is order to enhance legibility and create variety of character.

  • Reference: B2.29

• None

  Policy

  Tall buildings should be well justified and perform a clear place-making role such as to act as a landmark, which marks a prominent place in the urban fabric, enhances the skyline and aides legibility.
