Decision

RESOLVED to endorse the launch of the final 8-week SPD consultation for the accompanying ‘Uttlesford Design Code’ document, which will then enable the adoption as an SPD, and ultimately the use by the LPA as a material planning consideration.

Reasons for the decision

The Uttlesford Design Code is a practical and useable guide for all parties involved in the design and planning of development in Uttlesford. It will set out a series of rules and guidelines that, when followed, will combine to ensure that all proposals are designed and built to the highest quality expected by Uttlesford District Council. These must be taken into account in any planning application to ensure a consistent and high level of design and quality across the district.
