SG1: Placemaking Part 1 & Part 2

Contact Development Plan

What is it?

This guidance comes in two parts, Part 1 provides the context and approach of Placemaking established in Policy CDP1. It includes:

  • an outline of the processes to be undertaken in preparing a development proposal
  • a Glasgow interpretation of Qualities of Place
  • a section on the different character environments that are evident throughout the City that help to guide how a development responds to its context

Part 2 contains detailed assessment criteria relating to physical design, this includes updated guidance on residential development to be cross referenced with the Residential Design Guidance.

It also introduces new guidance in relation to Cultural Heritage, Temporary Uses, Community Facilities and Energy Efficient Buildings.
