Wates Developments objects to Draft Policy Direction 25, noting that design codes can often be relatively strict and prescriptive in comparison to a “Design Framework”, masterplan or “Design Guide”. We would encourage the Councils to avoid any design coding which is overly prescriptive in nature, as this could add significant delay to the delivery of development. We consider that greater flexibility should be provided to ensure that the preparation of additional policy material, particularly where it relates to large mixed-use sites, does not lead to protracted timescales for delivering much needed housing and employment in the SWLP area.
