Minutes:
The Committee considered recommending that the Spelthorne Design Code be recommended for adoption by Council. The Spelthorne Design Code had been created in a collaboration between the public, technical stakeholders, and a Task Group consisting of cross-party members. The work was supported by officers in the Strategic Planning team and consultants. The design code aimed to encourage the delivery of sustainable and locally distinctive development across the Borough.
Once adopted, the design code would be promoted by the Council, and planning applicants would be required to complete relevant checklists and reports. The Council could also apply the design code to applications received.
The Committee thanked those involved in the development of the code.
