Planning with considerations

Regarding of what to develop, I understand that there are certain policies that I have to consider and take into account. In Sheffield, there are plenty of policies that I'm sure every consultants have referred to as an aid where such policies can't be ignored and to be complied. In this weeks seminar, I've been clarified that acting as a interdisciplinary team, I can't build whatever I want in Sheffield or in Malaysia. Each has their own policies but what caught my eye is the city policies in Sheffield have a wide range of policies that I need to look into and at the same time, to consider on the feasibility of the proposed development. Questions came along within my thoughts. Is this possible? What if? and more.

As an example, I've learnt about the gold route in Sheffield City Centre in the seminar session today. Along the gold route in city centre is from the rail station to the Millennium Gallery. Developments have to be considered in regarding of the gold route. If the site of the proposed development intercepts with the gold route, developments are restricted in anyway possible that it cannot block the view of the spaces such as parks, squares, garden and public spaces which is along the gold route. These developments along the gold route are centred on the Heart of the City which symbolizes the city's economic and cultured renaissance. Developments that intercepts are restricted to its structure design, height and more. In relation of  the proposed site development, I will consider the site technical issues that need to be taken into account. Sheffield's City Policies will help me in identifying the restrictions of the proposed site location.
