Workshop: Delivering design quality in Suffolk

This one-day workshop brings together Suffolk’s planning authorities to reflect on the existing tools in use and to debate, collaborate and collectively develop approaches to promoting and fostering design quality.

This day consists of short talks, group working and feedback sessions. The morning will set the context for the day, explain the governments thinking on design, outline the variety of approaches to the management of design quality, identifying the most effectives tools. The afternoon session will focus on understanding what tools, processes or types of guidance authorities in Suffolk would most value and use this as basis to collectively develop approaches that can be shared across local authorities.

A second workshop, to be held at a later date, will extend the process to include the development sector.
