Village Design Statement
Town and Village Design Statements are produced by communities to identify local character and set out design guidance to help guide new development.
Their purpose is to manage change, whether that change is major new development or just cumulative, small scale additions and alterations. They are not about whether development should take place; that is a job for the Local Plan / Local Development Framework.

Town and Village Design Statements are about encouraging development to be carried out in a way that is in harmony with its setting and makes a positive contribution to the local environment. By describing the qualities and characteristics that people value in their villages and surroundings, local communities can have an input into the planning process.

There are now a number of parish councils and community groups who have prepared or are preparing Design Statements. Those that have been prepared can be found in the downloads menu or as an external link.
