BPF response to the government consultation on the new National Model Design Code and amendments to the NPPF

What – The government recently published the draft National Model Design Code and are seeking views on the code’s content and its application in practice.

Our view – The BPF can see the benefits of a National Model Design Code however it will be important that the process of producing local codes is fit for purpose enabling a balance between what is possible and viable on a given development site.
