          O19 Landscaping softens building bulk and creates pleasant
          settings for visitors and staff that function well in an intensively
          used environment by—
          a) providing canopy trees and ancillary shade structures;
          b) using shrubs and garden beds to clearly define public spaces
          and pedestrian walkways;
          c) providing areas for public art, where appropriate;
          d) providing outdoor areas with seating for staff and visitors;
          e) adopting landscape solutions that reduce the visual impact of
          building bulk (see Figure 14-23);
          f) using mounding and screen planting to conceal service and
          loading areas;
          g) making provision for outdoor dining areas where appropriate,
          that integrate well within the streetscape (see Figure 14-24);
          h) providing adequate screening along the perimeters of the
          development;
          i) avoiding the use of formal planting design for frontage works;
          and
          j) providing planting design and species selection that can
          endure an intensively used environment.

          a) maximise retention of existing vegetation;                          density and height effectively screen bulky
          b) provide planting in mulched areas at entrances, along               industrial buildings
          boundaries and around car parking and site facilities to provide
          screening and shading;
          c) lessen the impact of building bulk though the planting of
          vegetation that is in scale with the building, and by using
          mounding where appropriate (see Figure 14-25); and
          d) provide outdoor areas for staff.
