New page

The term 'principal elevation' typically refers to the front elevation of a dwellinghouse. The front elevation of most dwellinghouses faces a road. However, where it is not obvious which elevation is the principal elevation, other factors may be considered, including:

* The position of the main door.
* The position of windows.
* The relationship to the road.
* Boundary treatments.
* Ornamentation.

There can only be one principal elevation.

The 'rear elevation' is the elevation opposite the principal elevation.

Side elevations link the principal and rear elevation.
