Please give us your views on our proposed Design Guide for Householder Extensions and Alterations in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Newcastle City Council determines over 700 planning applications for extensions or alterations to people's homes. It is often the most common way people become directly involved in the planning system, either by making an application, or as a neighbour consulted on an application. It is therefore important that there is clear guidance publicly available about how the assessment of a planning application for an extension or alteration to a home is undertaken, and how people can become engaged in the process.
The revised 'Consultation Draft Design Guide' will help people plan the design of a proposed extension to their homes. The Guide identifies what is a good design, and how to avoid forms of development that could impact upon the pleasantness or attractiveness ('amenity') of neighbouring properties. The Draft Guide also provides information and resources to help navigate the planning process.
In accordance with planning regulations, we are now publicising these draft documents for comment. You can view them here:
