The quality of design of new buildings is a key factor in the image and perception of a place. Poor quality will result in a poor image and lead to further decline in its look and feel.
There are examples of high-quality new buildings in the city centre that we can be proud of. However, others do not live up to this standard and we need to ensure that all development is of high quality to raise the bar and improve its overall image.
We will therefore always expect high standards of architectural and spatial design in the city centre, creating a step change in the quality of development being delivered.
A high-quality built environment will stimulate confidence, bringing investment and attracting people to live, work and play in the city centre.
