Good quality design surely includes not unnecessarily exposing new and existing residents to excessing noise pollution. The demolition of the bund to make way for houses right next a noise sports ground is a crazy concept and doesn't make for a healthy location for anyone to live. This is very poor design. Why isn't SKDC standing up and enforcing this? Putting cheap houses there for a reason. But who will be able to live in them?

No good design gets away from the fact the countryside would be destroyed by housing estates and massive tin sheds.

Please add design code: Swift bricks to be installed in all new-build developments including extensions, in accordance with best-practice guidance such as BS 42021 or CIEEM. Photographic evidence of installation to be provided. Artificial nest cups for house martins may be proposed instead of swift bricks where recommended by an ecologist.
In more detail, the reason for this is:
The National Model Design Code Part 2 Guidance Notes (2021) recommends bird bricks (Integrating Habitats section page 25, Creating Habitats section page 26).
To ensure early inclusion of swift bricks on drawings for integrated design process and reliable installation on site.

Swifts for hundreds of years have nested undisturbed in roofs of houses until last 30 years roof renovation, repair, demolition has reduced breeding. Now red listed and danger of extinction. Swift nesting bricks can answer this problem, just like a normal house brick but hollowed with an entrance. In order to ensure survival of swifts the Local Plan should include that swift nesting brick should be installed in new houses, extensions and other buildings.
