Delivering innovative development which is environmentally- and community-friendly, and blends built form with landscape to achieve exemplar design quality, is a challenge. In this study tour we explore the delivery of a volume housing scheme, and the importance of the local authority and applicant team setting the bar high to achieve their collective ambition through the design and planning process..
Delegates can expect to:
- Gain an insight into the roles and responsibilities of the client and design team, including the objectives of the developer
- Consider the scheme in terms of the overarching themes within the National Design Guide:
- Climate: The complexities of delivering housing sustainably
- Character: The interpretation of context to develop a contemporary design solution
- Community: Urban design strategies to champion community and pedestrian-friendly places
The Study Tour is designed for any Officers who would like to explore the development in further detail.
