In building London s future we reflect on a past that has created some of the best buildings and urban spaces to be found anywhere in the world. More recently, though, too much of our new housing has sacrificed space and quality to unit numbers. New homes in London are some of the smallest in Western Europe and this is indefensible. I am determined to see a new generation of standards which improve London's housing and we have a unique opportunity to deliver these now. If we are to renew the capital's tradition of design excellence, we must understand the thinking behind the city's design achievements and its failures. This understanding will ensure that we create homes people want to live in and in which they and their families can flourish, now and in the future. My London Housing Strategy promotes excellence in design quality and sustainability. This guide underpins that commitment and is the first step to making it a reality. The strengthening collaboration between the London Development gency and the Homes and Communities gency has brought together the largest sources of funding for social housing and urban regeneration in the capital. The design standards set out in this guide will be applied immediately to LD supported projects. I am also pleased that the HC London Board has agreed that the new standards will be applied to new schemes applying for funding from pril 2011 and to all tenures on its own land holdings. I encourage all others involved in the creation of new homes to embrace this guidance. My draft replacement London Plan is taking this challenge forward across all tenures. It incorporates a range of policies and guidance for housing design, including a new generation of minimum space standards. This will be supported by detailed supplementary guidance on housing to support implementation. I have considered carefully the wide range of comments from all sectors of the development industry, submitted to me during the public consultation process on the draft guide. This interim edition is my response, and it sets out and explains my aspirations for the design of new housing in London. s well as applying to LD supported projects, it signposts my aspirations to improve the quality of the design of homes in London, which will be carried forward through HC funding requirements, the replacement London Plan and its associated supplementary guidance. bove all, the objective of this guidance is not only to deliver housing units but to provide beautiful and appropriate homes of the highest quality that respond to the complex design challenges posed by this most dynamic of cities. Boris Johnson, Mayor of London 45 Introduction This interim edition of the Mayor s London Housing Design Guide (LHDG) has been revised following public consultation on the draft LHDG in 2009 and the findings of a cost and delivery impact analysis. It is being published to show the direction of travel of the final guide, to shape the design of London Development gency (LD) supported developments, and to encourage all involved in the design of new housing to embrace the Mayor s aspirations. The guide is not a statement of planning policy. Planning guidance for all housing tenures is contained in the draft replacement London Plan and its draft Supplementary Planning Guidance on Housing. The final guide will be issued following the finalisation of the Homes and Communities gency s (HC) consultation on its Proposed Core Housing Design and Sustainability Standards and the draft replacement London Plan Examination in Public, incorporating any necessary changes arising from these processes to ensure all design guidance is in alignment. t the core of the guide are new minimum space standards. The guide also advocates improvements in the development and procurement processes so that design remains valued from vision to delivery. Together these support the Mayor s aspiration to help build a better, more humane and more beautiful city, with great housing at its heart. The Challenge of London This is a guide for London, and takes into account the diversity and complexity of its built environment and its social composition. London's population is projected to grow to 8.8 million by 2031, and this promises to keep demand for housing high. t the same time London aspires to become a world leader in tackling climate change, and currently faces the uncertainty of gradual recovery from recession. The ambition to improve the quality of life for Londoners and the quality of the city's places and spaces is a particular challenge against this background. The Design Challenge: New London Vernacular We are building places to live in a city with unique character, with examples of great housing and city-making at a range of densities. London s terraced houses, apartment buildings, streets, squares and the best of 20th century development have created highly successful residential environments with enduring appeal. This guide aspires to encourage a new London vernacular that can take its place in this rich fabric. new vernacular does not propose a singular architectural style, but recognises that the best housing comes from robust guidelines in planning and regulation, together with a deep understanding of particular architectural and social contexts on the part of designers and developers. There are certain qualities that characterise the best parts of London that this guidance seeks to encourage. London has many great urban places created by housing. We want to encourage housing that has a clear and sophisticated urban intention, and improves and civilises the streets and public spaces around it. 56 » Introduction continued London in general has a street-based urban arrangement. Essential to successful housing is an understanding of the hierarchy of streets in an area. Some are vital and busy, others are quieter. Good housing should add to the continuous, connected urban fabric of London. ll this demands great design to successfully deliver. The best areas of housing in London very often have strong and singular characters, often because of a consistent architectural expression and the widespread use of high-quality materials. In general, London s housing should not be striving for iconic architecture, but should focus on great background architecture made of durable materials that weather well. There is a demand in London for diverse dwelling types, and this guide describes how these can be mixed together without segregation by type or tenure, to make places where everyone can feel a sense of belonging. In recent years, some less successful trends have emerged in the development industry. In building so many over-dense apartment blocks with internal corridors serving small, singleaspect dwellings, we have risked creating a damaging legacy for future generations. fundamental aim of this guidance is to ensure that London's housing is flexible and accessible in use and adaptable over the life of a building. Housing should support family life, both in the flexibility and adaptability of homes and in the provision, in greater quantities, of larger homes. The minimum space standards in this guide aim to ensure that homes have the long-term adaptability to suit growing families or new owners and tenants. New dwellings must be accessible to the widest possible range of people at all stages of life, including disabled and older people. The ability to quickly and cheaply adapt a home when our circumstances change is particularly important in an ageing society where many of us want to maintain our quality of life, maximise our independence and stay in our own homes for as long as possible. This guide also recognises that quality of detail is essential to really successful housing, and should not be seen as secondary to good urban planning or the arrangement of dwellings. Beautiful doors, ceramic tiles, elegant balustrades little details like these can help housing developments go beyond the perfunctory, and add delight and dignity to people's daily lives. Housing Standards Housing standards have been used in the past to effect a step change in housing quality. The best known set of UK housing standards is the 1961 report Homes for Today and Tomorrow by the Parker Morris Committee, the primary concern of which was to ensure that every council-built home had enough space, along with satisfactory heating and sanitation. Today the priority of providing adequate space and amenity is the same, but attention has rightly turned to the quality of provision across all tenures, and whether dwellings are fit for all. In recent years London has been providing some of the smallest homes in the developed world and too many developments of a low quality. 67 This is not something to be proud of and is not sustainable. The new London standards and guidance are intended to encourage provision of enough space in dwellings to ensure homes can be flexibly used by a range of residents. They also aim to ensure that space can be sensibly allocated to different functions, with adequate room sizes and storage integrated into the planning. We must also use water, fuel and other limited resources in the most efficient way possible, to reduce carbon emissions and minimise the environmental impact of new development. Standards alone are no guarantee of quality; they must be underpinned by robust forms of procurement and long-term management plans. Section 7, Managing the Design Process, deals with the development process to help ensure that the best design intentions are delivered on the ground. The last decade has seen an array of design guidance issued by a variety of agencies. s a result, there is more emphasis than ever on excellence in design and sustainability and that is to be welcomed. This design guide does not aim to add yet another layer of policies and advice, but is derived from existing best practice guidelines, simplified and adapted to fit the capital s needs. 78 Development of the London Housing Design Guide This document has been developed by Design for London and the LD, with the involvement of the GL and HC London. The extensive process has included input from a variety of public sector investment partners, key external stakeholders such as Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) and private house builders, expert consultants, and a core group of respected housing architects and other industry experts. The first stage in developing the guidance was to review in detail existing design standards and policies the London Plan, the draft London Housing Strategy, the HC s Housing Quality Indicators, the Code for Sustainable Homes and others to identify overlaps and conflicts between existing standards. The development of the guide focused too, on identifying new requirements that would make a difference to the quality of housing. The most significant of these is the minimum space standards, and to ensure these are robust, a new evidence base was established. This incorporates the Lifetime Homes standard and basic furniture and activity spaces derived from the HC s Housing Quality Indicators. This ensures that the space standards are founded on tried and tested good practice principles. The guide is based around six key themes. The structure of the themes starts at the scale of a neighbourhood then focuses on the individual home. These are: 1.0 Shaping Good Places: integrating the development within the wider public realm network, providing opportunities for access to open and green space, and ensuring that development enhances the existing character of the area. 2.0 Housing for a Diverse City: designing for a mix of housing sizes, types and tenures, at appropriate densities. 3.0 From Street to Front Door: guidance on the design of shared circulation areas and the entrance and approach to a group of flats or individual dwelling. 4.0 Dwelling Space Standards: new minimum space standards and guidance on the size and layout of different rooms, including minimum sizes for storage and private outdoor space. 5.0 Home as a Place of Retreat: design guidance for privacy, dual aspect dwellings, noise, floor-to-ceiling heights, daylight and sunlight. 6.0 Climate Change Mitigation and daptation: clarifying the London approach to the implementation of the Code for Sustainable Homes in relation to London Plan policy. The Consultation Process The draft LHDG was published for public consultation in July This produced a constructive and wide-ranging debate on the implications of the guide for the future of housing developments in London. There was overall support for the aspirations of the draft: to encourage good design and to deliver high-quality, well-designed homes built to a high standard. The Mayor has carefully considered the responses received and the findings of the cost impact analysis commissioned by the HC, GL and LD. The changes made to the draft London Housing Design Guide reflect a balance between achieving high quality housing against the objective of increasing the overall supply of housing in London. 89 Using the Guide What is the purpose of this edition? This interim edition of the Mayor s London Housing Design Guide (LHDG) follows the cost impact assessment and the public consultation on the draft LHDG. It shows the Mayor s ambition for excellent housing design and indicates the direction of travel for the final guide. final version of the guide will align with the new London Plan and Housing Supplementary Planning Guidance and the HC design standards review. Who is the Mayor s Interim LHDG intended for? This document is primarily addressed to housing developers, RSLs, architects, and borough planning officers in London. In the first instance the Mayor will require that the full content of the Interim LHDG be applied to developments that are supported by the LD or on LD land. However, others are encouraged to embrace the guidance and support the Mayor s ambition to improve the quality of housing in London. Which existing policy, standards and guidelines have been incorporated in the LHDG? The LHDG incorporates proposed London Plan policy, the Lifetime Homes standards (2010 edition), and the key components of Building for Life, Secured by Design and the Code for Sustainable Homes, and it also draws on other good practice guidance. The standards of the GL Best Practice Guide for Wheelchair ccessible Housing are incorporated in appendix 3. How is the Mayor s LHDG intended to be read? The summary table in the next section offers a quick reference to the standards, and the text in each section of the document provides a comprehensive explanation of what they seek to achieve and how they can be implemented. The LHDG is intended to be read in full at the earliest stages of a project and used from early conceptual design and capacity testing through to full planning and detailed design. The guide is clear that good results rely on a good process as well as good design. Section 7 of this document offers advice on managing the design and development process in order to deliver successful schemes. What is the difference between Priority 1 and Priority 2 standards? It is expected that all developments supported by the LD will meet the full range of standards set out in this guide. The standards in the draft Housing Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) of the draft replacement London Plan are aligned with the standards in this guide and are categorised as either Priority 1 or Priority 2 standards. Priority 1 standards must be met in full, while Priority 2 standards are strongly recommended as best practice but not required. How does the LHDG relate to the draft SPG of the draft replacement London Plan (DRLP)? This guide complements these documents, but does not, in itself, constitute either a statement of planning policy or Supplementary Planning Guidance. The guide illustrates the exemplary application of standards contained in the draft Housing SPG and the DRLP. It encourages designers 910 » Using the Guide continued to produce housing of the highest quality and not just an acceptable standard. How does the LHDG relate to the new HC standards? The HC London Board, which is chaired by the Mayor, has agreed the objective of achieving a set of funding design standards in London, which align with the requirements of the London Housing Design Guide and Housing SPG. The funding standards for the HC in London will draw on the draft core national HC standards framework and be supplemented by additional requirements, which bring these into alignment with the standards in the LHDG and Housing SPG. These standards will begin to be applied to funding decisions from pril They will become mandatory for funding from pril Reference should be made to HC London for information on how the standards will be interpreted into funding requirements. What are the next steps? The final version of this guide will be published after the end of the DRLP Examination in Public and the finalisation of the HC's Proposed Core Housing Design and Sustainability standards and the DRLP and Housing SPG. In the intervening time, the guidance in the LHDG will continue to be refined, incorporating any changes arising from these processes. The Mayor is committed to ensuring the housing design standards of the Housing SPG, the final LHDG and the HC London will be in full alignment 1011 Summary Table of London Housing Design Guide Standards 1.0 Shaping Good Places Priority 1 Priority Defining Places Development proposals should demonstrate: how the design responds to its physical context, including the character and legibility of the area and the local pattern of building, public space, landscape and topography; how the scheme relates to the identified character of the place and to the local vision and strategy or how bolder change is justified in relation to a coherent set of ideas for the place expressed in the local vision and strategy or agreed locally Development proposals should demonstrate: how the scheme complements the local network of public spaces, including how it integrates with existing streets and paths; how public spaces and pedestrian routes are designed to be overlooked and safe, and extensive blank elevations onto the public realm at ground floor have been avoided; for larger developments, how any new public spaces including streets and paths are designed on the basis of an understanding of the planned role and character of these spaces within the local movement network, and how new spaces relate to the local vision and strategy for the area. 1.2 Outdoor Spaces Development proposals should demonstrate that they comply with the borough's open space strategies, ensuring that a review of surrounding open space is undertaken and that opportunities to address a deficiency in provision by providing new public open spaces are taken forward in the design process For developments with a potential occupancy of ten children or more, development proposals should make appropriate play provision in accordance with the London Plan SPG, Providing for Children and Young People s Play and Informal Recreation Where communal open space is provided, development proposals should demonstrate that the space: is overlooked by surrounding development; is accessible to wheelchair users and other disabled people; is designed to take advantage of direct sunlight; has suitable management arrangements in place. 2.0 Housing for a Diverse City Priority 1 Priority ppropriate Density Development proposals should demonstrate how the density of residential accommodation satisfies London Plan policy relating to public transport accessibility level (PTL) and the accessibility of local amenities and services, and is appropriate to the location in London. 2.2 Residential Mix Development proposals should demonstrate how the mix of dwelling sizes and the mix of tenures meet strategic and local borough targets and are appropriate to the location in London. 1112 3.0 From Street to Front Door Priority 1 Priority Entrance and pproach ll main entrances to houses, ground floor flats and communal entrance lobbies should be visible from the public realm and clearly identified The distance from the accessible car parking space of requirement to the home or to the relevant block entrance or lift core should be kept to a minimum and should be level or gently sloping [Lifetime Homes Criterion 2] The approach to all entrances should preferably be level or gently sloping [Lifetime Homes Criterion 3] ll entrances should be illuminated and have level access over the threshold.

Refer to appendix 3 for design standards for wheelchair accessible housing. 1213 3.3.3 Careful consideration should be given to the siting and organisation of car parking within an overall design for open space so that car parking does not negatively affect the use and appearance of open spaces Where car parking is within the dwelling plot, at least one car parking space should be capable of enlargement to a width of 3300mm. Where parking is provided in communal bays, at least one space with a width of 3300mm should be provided per block entrance or access core in addition to spaces designated for wheelchair user dwellings [Lifetime Homes Criterion 1]. 3.4 Cycle Storage ll developments should provide dedicated storage space for cycles at the following levels: 1 per 1 or 2 bedroom dwelling; or 2 per 3 or more bedroom dwelling Individual or communal cycle storage outside the home should be secure, sheltered and adequately lit, with convenient access to the street. Where cycle storage is provided within the home, it should be in addition to the minimum GI and minimum storage and circulation space requirements. Cycle storage identified in habitable rooms or on balconies will not be considered acceptable. 3.5 Refuse, Post and Deliveries Communal refuse and recycling containers, communal bin enclosures and refuse stores should be accessible to all residents including children and wheelchair users, and located on a hard, level surface. The location should satisfy local requirements for waste collection and should achieve full credits under the Code for Sustainable Homes Technical Guide.

In the Lifetime Homes Criteria the entrance level of a dwelling is generally deemed to be the storey containing the main entrance door. Where there are no rooms on the storey containing the main entrance door (e.g. flats over garages or shops and some duplexes and townhouses) the first storey level containing a habitable or non-habitable room can be considered the entrance level, if this storey is reached by a stair providing easy access, as defined above. Balconies and terraces over habitable rooms which require a step up to increase slab thickness / insulation are exempt from the Lifetime Homes level access standard. Dwellings over more than one storey with no more than two bedrooms may instead be designed with a Part M compliant WC at entrance level. The WC should provide a floor drain to allow for an accessible shower to be installed at a later date. dequate fixing and support for grab rails should be available at any location on all walls within a height band of 300mm mm from the floor. 1718 1.0 Shaping Good Places The Mayor wants London s new housing to shape great places in the city, places people can identify with, which raise the spirit and represent the aspirations and ambitions of our times. Housing is seldom about making iconic buildings that are at odds with their contexts. New houses and apartment buildings will be the lasting background to our daily lives. They should be a pleasure for people to walk past every day, through their civility, quality of materials, character and generosity towards the public realm. Housing makes up the majority of the city s built environment and we have an opportunity to create a beautiful and enduring legacy of homes that belong in London, and nowhere else. 1819 1920 1.1 Defining Places Character and Context The best developments are those designed with a sensitive understanding of their urban context, valuing the characteristics of the place and community. It matters how our housing looks. Each building plays a part in the city and its architecture should contribute to the character of a part of London. The most successful residential areas in London generally have a strong and consistent architectural character. New developments often struggle to make coherent places. Because of this, the Mayor encourages a design approach that carefully responds to the whole context of a development and builds on an understanding of the place, the observation of existing assets, and the local authority s existing vision or spatial strategy for the area. Through the designer s choice of scale, material, massing and building type, development should respect the existing character and urban grain of a place and build on the positive elements. Where a spatial strategy is already in place, this should be respected, and designers should demonstrate how new development contributes to the vision and strategy for the area. Where no such guidance is in place, those who propose bolder change should undertake an inclusive process that allows for a coherent vision for the future of the area to be developed and realised. Well-connected and Legible Woven through the city is an intricate network of public spaces made up of streets, squares, paths, lanes, mews, gardens and parks. This is the framework of London, allowing people to get where they want to go and to enjoy spending time outdoors in the city. Parts of the city that work well have a safe network of connected spaces and routes for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles that is easy to understand and navigate. Each new development should connect into and extend the surrounding network and show an understanding of the hierarchy of these routes. Urban spaces are most successful when it is inherently clear who is meant to use them. It is important to ensure that outdoor spaces are inviting and accessible, and that they engender a sense of ownership amongst the people who are intended to use them. There should also always be clear distinctions between spaces that are for public and private use. The arrangement of uses and the architectural expression of a development have a significant effect on the character of streets and public spaces, and whether or not they become well-loved and wellused spaces. Placing entrances and windows on street frontages and around public spaces brings activity which in turn increases neighbourliness and security by passive surveillance 1. To those inside looking out, it also gives an important sense of belonging to the wider world.
