Persimmon support high quality design, and it is considered that the overarching strategic design principles align with national policy.

The policy direction refers to 20-minute neighbourhoods, which the SA notes would result in positive impacts for many of the SA Objectives. The policy should clearly define the principles of such neighbourhoods. This may be based on the Town and Country Planning Association (TCPA)’s 20-minute Neighbourhoods guidance (March 2021). It will also be necessary to clarify that it may not be possible for all developments, particularly in the more rural locations across the district, to meet these principles. High densities may not be appropriate for all sites, particularly in rural settlements.
