Question 5 Other comments or suggestions

Page history last edited by Geoff Stone 15 years, 6 months ago

Question 5.  Do you have any other comments or suggestions to make on the draft Framework?

 

Comments

 

Prioritise Social Network considerations

Prioritise a Social Network study so that there is a prospect of purpose-designed buildings and thoughtful location of social spaces and services rather than a retrofit of “people to place”

 

'Good practice' design and development guidelines

We particularly want to urge that examples are identified and guidelines developed to demonstrate 'good practice' across a wider range of the issues encompassed in the proposals?  These could supplement the formal requirements that will end up in the District Plan, and be useful to community members, home-owners, developers and commercial occupants.[1]

 

Evaluate as development progresses

See comments made in relation to Question 3. and 4.

 

What we liked

  • The thought that has gone into the proposals and the consultation process that has been undertaken
  • The de-emphasising of retail activities and thereby maintaining Newtown as a retail hub
  • The more realistic estimates of likely residential units/population
  • The Drummond and Douglas Streets green space/walkway improvements.

Footnotes

  1. Here are some guides and case-studies provided by way of example - Whole Building Design / Whole Building Design Guide, http://www.wbdg.org/wbdg_approach.php and Case Studies / Whole Building Design Guide, http://www.wbdg.org/references/casestudies.php NB. We note the Newtown Residents Association refer to a design guide that is linked to the District Plan, but this is less applicable to the growth spine concept envisaged by Council.
