Period of consultation

This consultation initiative was launched to coincide with Urban Design Week (15-22nd September 2008). This is an annual event (held nationally) that seeks to champion urban design by:

promoting and encouraging awareness of good practice
fostering innovation in the built environment, and
celebrating urban culture and lifestyles

We intend to keep the consultation open until Christmas 2008. Please forward details to anyone you think might be interested in participating.

Thank you

With so much happening in the city, the Urban Design and Conservation Team thought it was a good time to take stock of the quality of development delivered in the last few years, with a view to learning lessons that can be applied in the future growth and regeneration areas. Your feedback is therefore most welcome.
