Design guide survey - have your say

Date Added: 23/03/2022

You can help shape the look and feel of new developments in Central Bedfordshire by taking part in a short online survey.

We are updating our Design Guide and would like to know what residents think is important in the design of new developments.

To support our Local Plan, the Design Guide sets out design expectation for new developments such as defining a distinctive character and enhancing qualities of the local area.

The Design Guide is an important tool in determining planning applications as it guides the principles and standards expected of new development.

The existing Design Guide was published in 2014, and will be updated to reflect the latest guidance, evidence, and best practice to ensure it remains relevant. The views of residents are important in this refresh.

Once the survey has closed, responses will be analysed and used to inform the updated guidance. The draft Design Guide will then be published for formal public consultation later this year.

The survey closes on Thursday 31 March 2022.
