We broadly support the application of Design Codes, in varying degrees of detail, consistent with the nature of the code itself - be it area wide or site specific.
Design Codes should however be prepared in consultation with promoters as key stakeholders, to ensure the code is proportionate and appropriate. Codes should support promoter’s objectives, where one site might be being delivered with a focus on GI and lower density development whereas another site might be being delivered at a higher density and seeking to support an off-site cultural asset.
A skeletal Design Code could form part of a Statement of Common ground prepared between the Councils and site promoters, applying the approach we have set out in responding to Policy Direction 5.
In all cases Design Codes should have regard to NDMP’s introduced through the Levelling Up and Regeneration Act 2023.
