Urban Design Framework Supplementary Planning Document Consultation Open
The consultation is now open on the draft version of the Urban Design Framework Supplementary Planning Document (UDF SPD) that, once adopted, will guide planning decisions on planning applications.
This guidance looks at opportunities to deliver better design outcomes from new development in the city. Its aim is to support design discussions between applicants, designers, planning officers, councillors and communities by outlining design solutions and best practice in the city and elsewhere. This includes showing how good urban design can help to improve existing areas, shape new places and deliver more inclusive, accessible, sustainable and climate-resilient buildings, spaces and places for the city; its residents, businesses and visitors.
Views put forward during the current consultation will feed into the final version of the guidance that will be submitted to the council’s Tourism, Equalities, Communities & Culture Committee for adoption early 2021.
In 2018, the council consulted the Economic Partnership and other stakeholders in the city on the type and content of this guidance. The findings of this early consultation informed the preparation of the Draft UDF SPD that you and your partners are now being invited to share your views on. The consultation, which started on Friday 23 October, runs until 11 December 2020.
More details about the consultation itself are available on the Draft UDF SPD consultation page.
