| 2.0 GUIDANCE 2.1 Amenity 2.2 Due to the potential for disturbance and loss of residential amenity, applications for shelters, which are located in close proximity to residential properties, will be considered in relation to the impact on those properties. As far as possible within technical constraints, the positioning of new shelters will take account of the boundary treatment at adjoining premises to reduce the potential impact. 2.3 Shelters will not normally be acceptable when positioned either outside listed buildings or in situations where they would seriously detract from the setting of such a building. 2.4 Within Conservation Areas, shelters incorporating advertising will normally be seen as an undesirable form of development and will not therefore usually be acceptable. The exception to this will be within the City Centre where there is already a certain level of street furniture and where there is a need to facilitate the public. Within the City Centre Conservation Area, however, the Department will require bus shelters to be of high quality in design and finishes. 72 |
