Residential Design Guide

Further to this matter, please find attached the Kenilworth Town Council response to this consultation.
Members also made the points below. These are brought to your attention but not included. They are just typo and layout comments.

KTC Points out that there appears to be a contradiction between Fig 5 and Fig 6 top right. It was felt that the extended roof should be hipped in both cases?

Kenilworth Town Council:
1. Welcomes the revising and updating of this essential Guide which is referred to in the emerging Neighbourhood Plan.
2. Welcomes the introduction of amenity space standards for houses and flats. The Town Council is not clear whether this will apply to the effect of extensions in gardens?
3. Questions the requirements in Fig 21 as possibly irrelevant as Permitted Development rights surely exceed them?
4. Suggests that the Photo examples would be much more use if it clearly indicated which are considered Good examples and which Bad, possibly by the use of ticks and crosses as earlier in the Guide. Members felt that this may be obvious to the expert but not to the layman. In some cases it is not even clear from the caption.
