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
The Gedling Design Code is a planning document for the Borough which sets out clear requirements and guidance for the design of new residential development.
The Design Code applies to the entire Borough and supports the Council’s ambitions to improve the quality of design. For ease of use, the Design Code is made up of three separate documents which apply to different scales of new development:-
Design Codes Framework:
- Major Sites of 10 or more dwellings
- Small sites of up to 9 dwellings
- Extensions and alterations to dwellings
