There are three key parts to the code:
Uttlesford Places
Locally specific and common design features from the built and natural environment will be used to inspire designs that reflect the character of the local area. We have used what you have told us in previous surveys and workshops about what makes Uttlesford unique to inform this.
District-wide coding
This will provide the rules for good design to be applied in all proposals across Uttlesford. We have used what you have told us in previous surveys and workshops about what you think is appropriate in Uttlesford, the districts opportunities and challenges, and how you would like to live to inform this. We would love to hear if you think the code achieves these aims.
Development-scale coding
This sets out the detailed requirements and supporting guidance to follow for different scales of new residential development. Where a development is on the border between places or landscape character areas, more than one set of rules may need to be considered.
