4.15 Policy CSP4 relates to delivering well designed places. Taylor Wimpey supports the intent of this policy to deliver well designed places, and in particular
enhance the attributes of the Black Country's character and heritage.
4.16 In terms of specific points in the policy, reference is made in criterion 2 to the use of carbon-based products being minimised. Whilst the intention of this statement is understood, it should be re-worded as it would otherwise restrict the use of products such as renewably sourced timber and other similar materials. In addition, reference is made in criterion 5 to the urban environment being designed in a way to encourage people to act in a ‘civil and responsible manner’. Again, it is difficult to perceive how a development proposal will deliver these specific requirements 'on the ground'.
