Within The Bishop’s Avenue, proposals for new development will be expected to:

• Take the form of detached houses within substantial plots and be of a scale and design compatible with the established character of The Bishop’s Avenue;
• Utilise existing access points, avoiding the formation of additional or widened vehicle access points;
• Retain existing plot widths, avoiding sub-division of existing sites;
• Retain existing landscaping, established trees and shrubs;
• Avoid the use of high security walls, gates and fencing;
• Preserve a significant degree of separation between buildings; and
• Take into account the council’s character appraisal statement on The Bishop’s Avenue.
