Summary

Design Codes have been proposed as a valuable tool to deliver a range of more sustainable processes and outcomes from development. ODPM (now Communities and Local Government), working in partnership with CABE and English Partnerships, instituted an action research programme (running throughout 2004 and 2005) to allow design codes to be tested in practice in England. This report presents the findings from the independent monitoring and evaluation of the programme. The report provides a solid foundation to develop design codes for the future, which will benefit local authorities, regional policy teams, and the development industry.
