Design Code Consultation

Gedling Borough Council consulted on a draft Design Code Framework between Friday 12th July and Friday 23rd August.  Once adopted as a Supplementary Planning Document, which will be towards the end of the year, the Design Code Framework will be used to inform future decisions on planning applications, helping to achieve a step change in the design of new residential development in the Borough. An explanation of the purpose and content of the Design Code Framework is available here.

How to take part in the Consultation
