Design Code Panel

The National Model Design Code influences how we deliver development in the future. Design Codes will provide guidance to developers, Local Planning Authorities and certainty for communities in how a place will change in the future.

If you are a community, we can provide methods to make the task of code preparation and evidence assembly straightforward and ensure effective engagement is provided.

If you are a developer or housebuilder preparing a Site Code we can support engagement with the community and the LPA through Code testing and Design Review.

If you are a Local Planning Authority preparing an Area Code, we can be a critical friend by bringing expertise and experience; support brief development, testing and engagement.
