Guiding principles for the delivery of a sustainable development You work for a developer submitting a proposal to the local (or municipal) authority outlining your vision for the development of a brownfield site. The local authority has specified that the development must be sustainable and has asked you to submit six guiding principles for the development. You should select a brownfield site in a town centre/city centre/built-up area of your choice. The development must be appropriate for the site in question and must be more than a single building. You need to provide some basic information about the site including a brief description of the site, the surrounding area (e.g. transport connections, amenities, land uses) and what you propose to develop on the site and why. Then set out the six guiding principles that your development will adhere to. Each guiding principle should include the following information: • A short title for the guiding principle; • A brief description of the background to the guiding principle; • Why this guiding principle is necessary to achieve a sustainable built environment; • How the guiding principle meets key legislation, guidance and/or targets; • Practical examples of how this guiding principle could be achieved in your development; • How your development could be measured or accredited to demonstrate that this guiding principle has been achieved; • Any limitations to the inclusion of this guiding principle. You will provide a brief report (maximum 3000 words, supplemented with a range of illustrative graphics, images, diagrams etc.). A reference list will be provided; the guiding principles should be supported with relevant academic references.
