Respondent: Cass Design

Representation Summary:

This chapter gives advice on:
• The user hierarchy – prioritising walking, cycling and public transport over motor vehicle use;
• Street character typologies and shared space streets;
• Permeability, connections to local facilities, and neighbourhoods, designing for public transport, and the design of walking and cycling routes;
• Boundary treatment, verges, tactile paving, wayfinding signage and street furniture;
• Use of planting, hard and soft landscaping, street furniture, street trees.
• We support the key headings listed on the divider page 70 (7.0 Movement).
• We suggest the headings from page 70 are carried over the the next page, and /or subheadings grouped into these categories; as the information presented on page 71 can appear overwhelming.
• The Chapter would benefit from a end of section Checklist to summarise design element considerations.
