9.18 Draft Policy ENV9 (Design Quality) provides guidance on design standards and principles to be assessed and included within design and access statements. We support Policy ENV9 in principle, as this policy seeks to ensure that developments are designed to the highest possible standards. However, we are concerned with reference to Secure by Design included at Part 1) d) of Policy ENV9, as Secure by Design guidance encourages cul-de-sacs and discourages permeability which is at odds with all other design guidance
