Frontage Types - Forecourt













Forecourt

The facade is set back and replaced by a low wall at the frontage line. The
forecourt thus created is suitable for gardens, vehicular drop-offs, and
workshop loading and storage. It should be used sparingly and in conjunction
with the shopfront and stoop types, as a continuous blind wall is boring and
unsafe for pedestrians. Tree canopies within the forecourt should overhang the
sidewalk.
