What the scheme asks for
The current scheme promotes active-transport links, urban greening, weather protection and streets that support walking. Those provisions shape the assessment of new development, particularly along important connections and active frontages.
Where scrutiny belongs
Policy language only becomes a street-level result through individual approvals and delivery. Plans should be checked for shade, tree-growing space, footpath width, crossings and how blank walls, driveways and servicing affect the pedestrian route.
