Structures above roofs
The design and siting conditions for detached houses with respect to structures above roofs will apply to buildings other than detached houses.

Façades
All façades of commercial and industrial buildings and returns should be of durable and low maintenance material and be subject to approval in respect of proportions, fenestrations, materials and colours having regard to the building itself and its relationship to adjoining buildings.

Screening walls
Generally, where service areas are visible from the road or a public reserve a screening wall or fence will be required. Where a commercial or industrial building is not constructed along the full frontage of the block, a screen wall with gates may be required between the building and the front and/or side boundaries of the block.

Structures in front of buildings
Generally no structures are to be erected between the building line and the front property boundary.

Landscaping and other matters
In order to satisfy the objectives contained in the general conditions it may be necessary for the National Capital Authority to require the submission of acceptable landscape proposals as a condition of approval.

Siting of buildings
The siting of buildings on blocks must ensure adequate space for access, internal circulations, parking, off‑street loading, light, air and landscaping. To implement this general condition it is necessary for the following design and siting conditions to be exercised. In special circumstances, it may be necessary for the National Capital Authority to determine additional design and siting conditions to those set out hereunder.

Access
Vehicular entrances and exits for all blocks must be of sufficient width having regard to their probable use and be located in a position which, in the opinion of the National Capital Authority, is not hazardous to traffic safety and not likely to create traffic congestion.

Internal circulation
Where appropriate, adequate provision must be made for internal vehicular circulation on sites leased for residential buildings other than detached houses and for commercial and industrial buildings.

Parking
Off‑street parking spaces, open or enclosed, must be provided for all new buildings and enlargements or conversions of existing buildings in accordance with the following provisions:
Type of Building                     Minimum parking space requirement
