Stratford upon Avon
District Design Guide

The wide variety of building materials and styles used throughout the town
New developments using modern materials rather than tradition materials in the building process
To resist inappropriate and insensitive development and promote the adoption of good design practice for the settlement.
The family of details that should provide the starting point for proposals should be identified by an examination of the existing details found in the particular part of the settlement in which new development is to take place 9.1.8

Ensuring that a range of local forms is taken as a starting point promotes the richness of diversity and allows for flexibility of use.3.4.3

New developments should use the experience embodied in the settlements themselves described in the Conservation Area Documents (and in some cases described in the Conservation Area Documents) and the knowledge of the local population in particular as set out in parish appraisals and village design statements. 3.4.5

Details should be simple. Within appropriate limits, there should be a variety of details from house to house. The limits to the range of details should be based on what is appropriate to the settlement and position within the settlement. The limits should also be based on what is appropriate to the material and type of construction of the building.9.1.3
