Support - Paragraph 4.7.8 We welcome the requirement for proposals to respond to local townscape and demonstrate a positive and appropriate response to key design features. It might be helpful to list some of the materials that would be considered appropriate eg locally distinctive materials/features that help to contribute to the character and unique local distinctiveness of the area and Mill Road CA in particular.
The brief could refer to the need for high quality design and good practice in relation to the public realm. See our advice in 'Streets for All East of England' https://historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/streets-for-all-east-of-england/ and also https://historicengland.org.uk/advice/caring-for-heritage/streets-for-all/case-studies/
Support - Paragraph 4.7.8 We welcome the requirement for proposals to respond to local townscape and demonstrate a positive and appropriate response to key design features including street elevations, roofscape, materials, massing and building corners. In this regard it might be helpful to list some of the materials that would be considered appropriate eg Cambridge brick, slate roofs and other locally distinctive materials/features that help to contribute to the character and unique local distinctiveness of the area as a whole and Mill Road Conservation Area in particular.
We would also suggest that the brief could refer to the need for high quality design and good practice in relation to the public realm. We would refer you to our regionally specific advice in 'Streets for All East of England' https://historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/streets-for-all-east-of-england/ More information and advice on the above can be found on our website via this link: https://historicengland.org.uk/advice/caring-for-heritage/streets-for-all/case-studies/
