Whilst the Council continues a commitment to maintaining this legacy, the area is experiencing increasing pressure for new development – bringing with it new challenges and opportunities. We need to balance the delivery of new, high quality development, whilst at the same time protect and enhance the qualities that make the Guildford area so attractive. Development pressure and housing needs however should never be an excuse for poor design.  \nThe National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF, 2012) stresses the importance of good design and the need to refuse permission for poorly designed proposals. Good design also adds environmental, economic, social and cultural value – it enriches our lives. Good design is applicable on a range of scales; through master-planning of larger sites, to the detailed design of streets and buildings. Development should always be rooted in the local context, respect the local character and build on the existing natural and built environment. Good design is therefore an essential requirement to the planning system and should never be considered a ‘desirable extra’.  \nThis design guide demonstrates the Council’s commitment to good design and to ensuring that the design of development contributes to making distinctive, sustainable and attractive places in the Borough, which provide for better health and wellbeing and a high quality living environment for all residents.  \nThis guide provides the criteria necessary for assessing planning applications to help designers, engineers, planners and developers achieve high standards of design and construction. It will provide planning committee members and officers with the tools to refuse consent for poor design. The principles in this guide should ensure that new development creates a positive sense of place and that they will work best for existing and new residents and its occupants.  \nWe hope you will welcome the guidance and use it to ensure that all new development inspires excellence – helping to continue Guildford’s legacy of being a great place to live.  \nContents  \n1 Introduction  \n1 . 1 Purpose of Guidance 3  \n1 . 2 Status + Planning Policy Context 4  \n1 . 3 How to Use this Guide 5  \n1 . 4 Other Consents and Regulations 7  \n2 General Principles  \n2 . 1 Impact on the Street 11  \n2 . 2 Impact on Neighbours 13  \n2 . 3 Relationship with the Existing Property 15  \n3 Design Guidance  \n3 . 1 Front + Side Extensions 1 9  \n3 . 2 Rear Extensions, Conservatories + Annexes 23  \n3 . 3 Roof + Basement Conversions 27  \n3 . 4 Decking, Terraces, Patios + Balconies 31  \n3 . 5 Garages + Parking 33  \n3 . 6 Materials + Detailing 35  \n3 . 7 Boundary Treatment 37  \n4 Appendices  \n4 . 1 Glossary of Terms 41  \n4 . 2 References 43  \n1 INTRODUCTION  \nPurpose of Guidance  \n1. 1  \nAn extension or alteration to your home can give you the increased and adapted space to meet changing family need  \nor circumstances, without having to move home. This Design Guide has been produced to assist you in the design of your residential extension or alteration.  \nThe guidelines aim to show you the best wayto provide extra accommodation and to assist you in getting the design of your extension right the first time. The principles in this guide are relevant whether you need permission for your extension or not.  \nAs the borough is diverse and varied in character with many different types, styles and sizes of property, the guidance cannot reflect every individual situation. It does however indicate the most common planning and design considerations which should be taken into account by applicants and householders.  \nAs well as providing advice to applicants, this guide will also be used by the Council in the determination of planning applications and used to resist poor design if necessary.
