This contract supports the preparation of DBC
and SADC Local Plan’s and the delivery of strategic sites
within Hemel Garden Communities.
The purpose of the Strategic Sites Design Guidance is to develop a
framework and Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) to ensure
strategic sites coming forward through the Local Plan and Hemel
Garden Communities achieve a high quality design of new homes, with
good architecture, layout and effective landscaping. By adopting
the guidance as an SPD it will be material consideration for
planning applications and enable Development Management to
negotiate with developers to achieve higher standards.
This joint work with SADC will ensure that strategic sites within
their local authority area that are adjacent to Hemel Hempstead
follow the same guidance and quality design standards criteria to
benefit the town as a whole.
DBC has received a Planning Delivery Fund grant of £60,000 to
support this work
