Respondent: Canal & River Trust

The Trust supports the design and placemaking aspirations of policy CSP4, in particular part 7, which deals specifically with the canal network. However, we would like to see the words 'wherever possible' completely from this part of the policy so that protection and enhancement of the canal network through design and layout and integration into the development is always an expectation for canalside sites. We suggest that this is consistent with the NPPF (chapters on design and historic environment) and the National Design Guide (on integrating nature and public spaces).
