Implementation Insert text HD2 Previously developed areas In areas which appear tired and are suffering deterioration with the passage of time, development will be supported that enhances the character and quality of the area and the way it functions. Brownfield development only be supported if constructed within the original building curtilage unless, in exceptional circumstances, the design demonstrates that it enhances the character and quality of the area and the way it functions. Reasoned justification The residents advise that design is not only important because of the street scene and the look of the area but also because of the quality of life that it enables. Design also needs to recognise the demographic of the people living in Hook; eg as families grow they tend to have multiple cars and may wish to extend their houses. A certain number of properties are deemed by residents as appearing tired and are suffering deterioration with the passage of time (a prime example of which is the buildings in the centre of Hook). It is the residents’ wish that the design of any development in these areas will eliminate this and improve the overall appearance. Implementation Insert text HD3 Social Inclusivity and Cohesion New development will only be supported if aims to improve social inclusivity and cohesion by: excluding gated developments, as Hook is a socially cohesive and low-crime area meeting the requirements of ‘Secure by Design’ [MW ref?] to minimise the likelihood and fear of crime.
