Residents, businesses and community groups across the Central Lincolnshire area can play a pivotal role in shaping the future of their region by contributing to the creation of a landmark Design Code.
The Central Lincolnshire Design Code will set out clear, ambitious design standards for new buildings and public spaces in North Kesteven, West Lindsey and the City of Lincoln, ensuring developments enhance local character, sustainability, and quality of life for generations to come.
Following the success of the first consultation held last September/October, which gathered insights and feedback from surveys, community workshops, and evidence reviews, the project has now entered the next phase.
A draft Vision and seven Design Principles have been developed, reflecting the priorities and aspirations shared by residents, parish councils, and stakeholders. The drafts are open for public feedback during an engagement period, running to April 9.
Residents are encouraged to review the draft Vision and Design Principles and share their views via a short online survey here: Design Code Survey
Participants who complete the survey can opt into a prize draw to win one of three £50 Lincolnshire Gift Cards, valid at a range of local businesses.
Mark Williets, Assistant Director of Place at North Kesteven District Council, said this was an opportunity for communities to directly influence how Central Lincolnshire grows and develops.
“The Design Code is an important set of principles, helping to shape new developments and the places where our residents will live and work. We are keen to hear from people about the ways we can shape these communities, respond to climate change and further enhance our heritage and the important characteristics of our places,” he said.
Feedback from this consultation will inform the final draft of the Central Lincolnshire Design Code, which will be published for a final round of public consultation later this year.
