• Compatibility and fit• Neighbourliness• Liveability• Safety and security• View protection• Provision of open space• Streets as public realm• Heritage conservation• Waterfront access• Tree retention/replacement & site landscape


Compatibility and Fit• uses and impacts• massing and form response• contextual response• urban design panel advice



Neighbourliness• solar path & shadow aspects• privacy• neighbourhood input• edges



Liveability• daylight quality• acoustic performance



Safety & Security• parking garages• lane interface• alcoves• Landscape• CPTED



View Protection• public view analysis• private view analysis



Provision of Open Space• planning/VPB requirements @ 2.75 acres/1000• programming



Streets as Public Realm• existing conditions• engineering requirements• special precincts• unique opportunities



Heritage Conservation• form of development• architectural expression• historical references including public realm• Heritage Commission/GHAPC/CHAPC



Waterfront Access• paths, edge development• animation
