	The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government in 2021, defines a design code as: ‘A set of illustrated design requirements that provide specific, detailed parameters for the physical development of a site or area. The graphic and written components of the code should build upon a design vision, such as a masterplan or other design and development framework for a site or area.’		The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government in 2021, defines a design code as: ‘A set of illustrated design requirements that provide specific, detailed parameters for the physical development of a site or area.

	[https://www.architecture.com/knowledge-and-resources/resources-landing-page/engagement-overlay-to-riba-plan-of-work Engagement Overlay to the RIBA Plan of Work], published by the RIBA in January 2024, states: ‘A design code is a set of design requirements for the physical development of a site or area.

The code should build upon a design vision, such as a masterplan or other design and development framework for a site or area and often results in ‘zoning’ criteria. Community led design code is a code that is co-created with a steering group and, or community. Similar to a community charter.

	On 6 August 2020, the government published ‘Planning for the Future’ a consultation on reforms to the planning system. The proposals were intended to streamline the process, cut red tape, harness technology and protect green space to deliver high-quality, sustainable communities. ‘Planning for the Future’ included proposals for local authorities to introduce local design codes giving communities control over what is built in their areas.

−	The process for creating a local design code has been outlined in the NMDC. It provides advice to local planning authorities on the process for producing codes, the design parameters and issues that need to be considered and tailored to their own context ~~when producing local design codes and guides~~.

	To support the use of design codes the government created the Office for Place within the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. This will support communities to turn their visions into local standards that all new buildings will be required to meet. The Office for Place will be advised by a board of experts from the planning and development industry.
