The National Model Design Code will influence how we deliver development in the future. Design codes will provide guidance to developers and certainty for communities in how a place will change in the future. If you are a community this can be a daunting task, but there are methods that can be adopted that will make this task straightforward and ensure effective engagement and advice is provided. If you are a developer or housebuilder we can assist in engaging with the community and offer expert advice on how a design code can be prepared and better understood by all concerned.
