Place Shaping and Adaptation

Place Shaping and Adaptation is about good design. This is concerned not only with the building in isolation, but also about how it affects the surrounding area, addressing issues such as access and public space. The policy objective is in place to ensure that developments consider their wider environment and how the people who live and work in the area relate to the building on a day-to-day basis.

For further details of this policy objective please visit the NWDA website where designated pages will provide you with links to the NWDA Sustainable Buildings Policy, supporting Guidance Note and Checklist http://www.nwda.co.uk/sustainablebuildings

Factsheet
