Support all points. Would suggest implementing design codes for all areas of Medway asap. Keeping this up to date. Shame poor design publicly and praise good design. There needs to be an incentive to design well. Current the market doesn’t require developers to do so, therefore the council and residents need to ensure they have the ability to enforce good design. Has the council considered a ‘good design panel’ formed of independent professionals as a paid for and required pre app service? Harlow in Essex has a similar scheme which has worked very well!
