Our guidance and policies are referenced as best practice within LLDC’s Local Plan to establish high quality design at the core of our approach to development. These standards ultimately support LLDC’s vision and expectations as to how high quality will be achieved, driving LLDC’s corporate approach to the procurement of design teams and development partners.
“For our area, high quality design is demonstrated by places that positively contribute to creating a better, healthier, more attractive, inclusive and sustainable piece of city.”
Design Quality Policy, Chapter 3 ‘Design Quality’
As part of the GLA family we are involved with city-wide design policy discussions and ongoing research in a number of fields including housing design standards, design framework panels, employment spaces, play spaces and healthy city studies. The LLDC is committed to embedding Good Growth principles within exemplar design policy, process, governance and delivery.
