Overall Wichelstowe Design Code
Independent Design Code Testing of East Wichel
A design code is a set of specific rules or requirements to guide the physical development of an area. It aims to provide clarity about what constitutes acceptable design quality for developers and local communities and assists in accelerating the delivery of good quality new development.
An extensive programme of public consultation was carried out on the Design Codes in early 2005 and members of the public were given the opportunity to see and comment on the revised codes in October 2006.
A report on the details of the public consultation methods used and the results of the questionnaires received, as well and some of the key points from the focus groups and how they will be responded to as the design codes are developed, is available to download.
