Design Codes
The Parish Council applied to Locality (the organisation that provides funding and technical support for neighbourhood planning), to have a Design Code written for Codicote. The Design Code complements the design policies in the Neighbourhood Plan. It can be used to judge the quality of planning applications and encourage developers to design new homes that are in keeping with the character of Codicote village.
