Test programme is part of government’s push to force developers to build beautifully
Major city authorities including Leeds, Newcastle and Southwark are among 14 councils selected to take part in a trial of local design codes.
The government said it will give each authority £50,000 to take part in the six-month pilot to develop local design codes based on the placemaking principles contained in the government’s draft National Model Design Code, published in January.
The £7m trials are part of a push by the government to implement the recommendations contained in last year’s report of the Building Better, Building Beautiful Commission, which called on the government to use design codes and pattern books to enforce good design via the planning system.
