Councils urged to value good design

Councils urged to value good design - 2003 - Planning (for the Natural and Built Environment) (1525) 27 June 2003, 2(1) .

The Planning Officer's Society has produced a new guide outlining how the planning system can create sustainable communities by delivering high quality urban design and conservation. "Moving towards excellence in urban design and conservation" is sponsored by English Heritage and CABE and contains an 'excellence matrix' which planning authorities can use to benchmark services and promote heritage. The guide is available at www.english-heritage.org.uk/Default.asp?WCI=WebItem&WCE=3553.
