Our VDS gives a detailed description of the existing character and main features of design in Great Canfield – the things that make it special for its residents. It identifies the physical qualities and characteristics of the village and the surroundings that are valued by local people, and any particular aspects they would like to conserve and protect. Our VDS provides Design Guidelines. The VDS has been considered within the context of the Adopted Local Plan to ensure that the Guidelines conform to Uttlesford District Council’s planning policy, and on 16th December 2009 was adopted as Council Approved Guidance as part of the planning process.
