Development practice
Neighbourhood Integration
The project edge is part of the neighbourhood.
Street relationships, movement, privacy, landscape and nearby amenity are considered so a development can be secure without ignoring the place around it.
Read the street
Pedestrian movement, vehicle access, neighbouring entrances, active frontages and local landscape influence how the development should meet its surroundings.
Manage public and private boundaries
Security, privacy and access control need clear thresholds. The objective is not to expose private residential space, but to avoid unnecessary blank or hostile edges.
Consider long-term contribution
Drainage, lighting, landscape, servicing and ground-floor treatment affect the surrounding area after construction. Their operation should be considered as part of neighbourhood fit.
