Codes Research and Practice Guide
Client
- DCLG and CABE |
Design codes have
been a controversial topic in the architectural and planning press.
The government and CABE wished to explore the potential for using
them in the new planning system, with the aim of improving the quality
and speed of major new housing proposals and reducing the conflict
around them.
Together with University College London (UCL), we were commissioned
to carry out research over a three-year period, based on 19 case
studies, some of which were already built, some being tracked from
the earliest stages. The UCL case studies included several schemes
that Tibbalds has been involved in, including Lightmoor and West
Silvertown (with Gardner Stewart Architects).
The research findings
were published and we then distilled them into “Preparing
Design Codes: A Practice Manual”, published to accompany PPS3. |
