Award date: 20 December 2021
Applicant: Cornwall Council
Assessor: Cornwall Environmental Consultants
Cornwall Council’s Design Guide - ‘Achieving quality in development for people, wildlife & the environment’, underpins the Local Plan by offering a comprehensive guide to design quality in Cornwall. By providing clarity on what is expected from development, it helps achieve the delivery of high-quality places that respond positively to cross-cutting issues like climate change adaptation, nature recovery and creating healthy environments.
Informed by the Building with Nature Standards Framework, the Guide was assessed for the Building with Nature Policy Award, recognising its exemplary approach to defining high-quality green infrastructure, putting people and nature at the heart of policymaking and development management.
