Our approach to building design is set out in the adopted New Forest Local Plan.
You’ll find the main design-related policies in Chapter 6, Protecting and Enhancing the Historic and Built Environment.
We also publish a range of supplementary planning documents that offer practical design guidance and help bring these policies to life. These can be downloaded from the Design guidance page (link below).
