Design Brief

Planning and design concepts are developed based on the sustainable design statements and these are to be tested in light of the anticipated impacts

• First run to be tested for sustainability

• Open for criticism, check and refinement


Development Impact Assessment

• Taking into account the entire development which includes economic, social, environmental, traffic and visual impacts

• All factors taken together irrespective of material gains

• Design evaluated on all these criteria of DIA

• Computer models may be run to ensure sustainability
