The Office for Place is helping local councils get started on creating their own local design codes.
GOV.UK writes:
The Office for Place will help unlock potential and capacity for local councils to set clear and effective standards of design, assisting them to navigate through a complex policy landscape with limited resources. We will share best practice across local councils, showcasing what steps can be taken to create beautiful, healthy and sustainable places and support the building of more quality homes, for all. The Office for Place recognises the challenges local councils face with creating their own local design codes. In response to this, the Office for Place has developed a programme of work to support them, by providing the necessary tools and guidance to help them get started with the design code process.
To help local councils develop their understanding of design codes, we have produced a suite of documents and other useful materials.
