Context and neighbourhood character
1 Context and neighbourhood character
Good design responds and contributes to its context, which is the key natural and built features of an area, their relationship and the character they create when combined and also includes social, economic, health and environmental conditions.
Responding to context involves identifying the desirable elements of an area’s existing or future character.
Well designed buildings respond to and enhance the qualities and identity of the area including the adjacent sites, streetscape and neighbourhood.
Consideration of local context is important for all sites, including sites in the following areas—
established areas,
areas undergoing change,
areas identified for change.
