Considered to be a ‘non-event’ of a design policy. Does not go beyond what is already provided in national policy and guidance. Together, P1 and P2 should point to the ability for communities to prepare local design codes through neighbourhood plans and which would then represent a more specific version of the design policies. Policy currently unclear about need for ‘major development’ to provide a detailed masterplan or design codes or development briefs. Policy focusses solely on Design and Access Statement requirements.
Policy hooks for specific design tools and documents are important for effectiveness and clarity for communities,
developers and decision-takers about design process expected from CDC.
