Placemaking – Achieving well-designed places
3.10 We note that high-quality design and place-making is central to the ambitions of the Local Enterprise Partnership (‘LEP’) and West Midlands Combined Authority (‘WMCA’). The key themes from the Black Country Garden City Prospectus (launched by the LEP in 2017) and West Midlands Design Charter (launched by the WMCA in 2020) are reflected in draft Policy CSP4 (Achieving well-designed places). We agree that draft Policy CSP4 reflects the requirements of Chapter 12 of the NPPF, and for development to reflect local design policies and government guidance on design including the National Design Guide and National Model Design Code (as per paragraph 134 of the revised NPPF).
