Submission on Draft Design Standards for Apartments Guidelines
Wednesday, March 28, 2007
The Institute welcomes the preparation of these draft Design Standards for Apartments, as part of a larger suite of national policy and planning guidance on sustainable urban housing. The Institute established a committee drawn from its membership, with extensive experience of planning practice in putting forward and in assessing residential developments. This committee has carefully considered the Consultation Draft, and has made a number of suggestions by way of amendment.
The Institute asks the Department to consider the points made in this submission, which are put forward with the intention of improving the document, of raising queries or comments on certain aspects, and of ensuring that the final Guidelines, when issued, will not only be appropriate, but will also be operable in practice.
