Mansfield Town Centre Design Code
PJA on behalf of Mansfield District Council
Entrant's Summary: Mansfield District Council was one of twenty-five authorities to have been selected as a 'Pathfinder' to help set their own standards for design through development of a Design Code. The Code covers the town centre and aligns with the area considered through the Town Centre Masterplan. The Council worked with consultants PJA to develop the code which was thoroughly assessed through the Council's Committee procedures and Leadership Team. The Code was adopted as a Statement of Council Policy in November 2023. The Council's approach to the Design Code has been welcomed by the Office for Place, DLUHC and Design Council.
