Design Considerations |

and contributes positively to, its surroundings at street level;
- be set in the context of an urban design analysis, including
the impact on local, medium and long distance views and places;
- be accompanied by a design statement;
- emphasise or contribute to a point of civic or visual significance
( including a cluster) or a centre of urban activity or regeneration,
both locally and in relation to the immediate area and the wider
area from which it will be visible;
- achieve a positive relationship with topographical features
and other buildings nearby, and contribute to the image and built
environment of London; and
- enhance the skyline by ensuring that the roof top design is
of high quality.
