Mitcham's Corner Development Framework SPD

Representation ID: 31443

Received: 17/10/2016

Respondent: Mr Richard Taylor

Representation Summary:

I don't think engagement of a local artist should be required.

Money which could go into art could go into high quality architectural features on the buildings themselves, architecture itself is art.

A key consideration with public art ought be it needs to last at least as long as the development it relates to. A one-off event, or even a series of events, shouldn't ever be considered to meet a planning requirement for public art.
