Watermead Design Code

Through the Ministry of Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) Neighbourhood Planning Programme led by Locality, AECOM has been commissioned to provide design support to Watermead Parish Council.  

This document seeks to support Neighbourhood Plan policies that guide the assessment of future development proposals and encourage high quality design. 

What is a Design Code?

The Governments Planning Policy Guidance defines design codes as: 

A set of illustrated design requirements that provide specific, details parameters for the physical development of a site or area. 

Content also needs to be informed by the 10 characteristics of good places as set in the National Design Code, which are: 

1.    Identity 
2.    Built Form 
3.    Movement 
4.    Nature 
5.    Public Spaces 
6.    Uses 
7.    Homes
8.    Buildings 
9.    Resources 
10.  Lifespan
