What is SCD?
SCD is interpreted as being the same as Conservation Design for subdivisions¹. It is a planning tool for managing development growth and protecting natural areas by designating about half or more of the buildable area as protected area.
|
Main steps (Generic example)
|
 |
 |
|
At first determine the yield as done under conventional development
|
Determine in addition to the primary conservation areas, the secondary conservation areas (Red and yellow lights of development).
|
 |
And densify the development around the conservation areas.
|
|
Application of SCD in Dieppe (N.B.)
|
 |
Centrally located in high growth area
|
Conventional yield with moderate density
|
 |
Between 40 to 50 residential units could be built under conventional development with moderate density.

Objectives of the project
|
Site |
Buildings |
|
- Increase density for residential development (Request from the City)
- Protect wetlands & mature trees
- Reduce impervious surface (Help water recharge)
- Connect with other green areas & trails
- Encourage social interaction
|
- Hook up development to public sewage and water
- Orient buildings to benefit from sunlight
- Take advantage of views on the open space
- Aim for high energy efficiency
- Provide affordable units
- Locate close to commercial amenities (500 metres from commercial intersection)
- Offer environmentally friendly residences

|
9 options proposed for development
|
One recommended option
|
|
- It meets the objectives for the project
- About 100 units to be considered for residential development
- 4.5 less land used per built unit than conventional subdivision
- Mainly town houses and clustered units
- Main target:
- Empty nesters
- Smaller families
- Young professionals
