天美传媒 design guidance
The 天美传媒 design guidance sets out our expectations for the design of new development, design of streets and parking standards in 天美传媒.
Use this guidance as a basis for the planning and design of new development proposals and for all street design. It is a material consideration in assessing planning applications.
Planning application guidance on flooding
We have statutory duties to reduce the risk of flooding. As part of these duties we must not permit development which has the potential to increase flood risk.
Sustainable rainwater management
We also have a range of guidance on sustainable rainwater management. From an individual householder, to a major developer, we all need to consider where rainwater should go. This guidance was commissioned to address the practical application of the vision for water management in the City of 天美传媒. Some of our downloads might not be accessible.

Open space strategy
Green spaces that are well cared for and well connected matter for our health, wildlife and economy.
天美传媒’s open space strategy is the city's stategy to protect, look after and expand the city's network of green spaces. It is based upon an open space audit.
The strategy should be referred to for all developments that affect existing open space or give rise to the need for new open space provision.
