EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
DRAFT DEVELOPMENT CONTROL PLAN AMENDMENTS
The controls aim to achieve a well-connected pedestrian network, active street frontages, high quality architectural style and character, attractive streetscapes, integration of the public and private realm, communal open space and appropriate provision of parking. Importantly, the proposed development controls also take into account Clause 8.5 (3) of The Hills .. a) Design principles taken from an analysis of the site and its context.

Land to which this Section applies
Various pockets of non-SSDA land also have limited development potential, either due to current planning controls, proximity to metro and arterial roads, fragmented land ownership or ecological constraints due to proximity to the Elizabeth Macarthur Creek Riparian Corridor. Controls under this DCP are applicable to land not covered by the SSDA, which is mainly
Purpose of this Section
The Urban Design Guidelines, approved by the Department of Planning and Environment (the Department) as part of the SSDAs, will guide future development on the applicable SSDA land (as shown in Figure 2).
