The recently published National Design Guide challenges us to rethink local design policy and how we evaluate design quality. In order to make effective planning decisions officers and elected members need to understand what the guide says and how to use it. As part of the Design Network, Integreat Plus, hosted by Doncaster Council, is pleased to offer National Design Guide learning event for Local Planning Authorities across Yorkshire and the Humber. This one-day event is designed to enable those involved in planning, housing and regeneration to develop an understanding of the National Design Guide.

Delegates can expect to: – understand how the National Design Guide relates to local planning practice
– become familiar with the 10 characteristics of the National Design Guide and their interconnections
– understand how the framework fits into wider national planning policy
– be able to make practical use of the National Design Guide to evaluate design quality 

These events are open only to officers and elected members in local planning authorities across Yorkshire and the Humber.
