Stevenage West Masterplanning Principles
What these masterplanning principles cover
The masterplanning principles set out in this document represent the expression of what the local authorities, collectively, have determined:
What the new development should aspire to;
- What the basis will be for determining whether developer masterplan(s) submitted to them meet suitable qualitative standards;
- What the overall philosophy and the guiding principles of the development should be in respect of layout, design, balance & mix of uses, quality of social and physical infrastructure etc;
- What will be the criteria for judging whether the proposals meet local authorities expectations in terms of sustainability; and
- What monitoring and consultation arrangements they propose.
These principles have been drawn up independently of any masterplan proposals prepared by private developers. The local authorities have judged that in order to ensure fairness and transparency it is essential that their masterplanning principles are entirely independent of any proposals that might be submitted to them. This is particularly important as this document is intended to inform all parties with a potential interest in the proposed development.
