Northumberland Design Code - Sharing our consultation with your Communities
POSTED Friday 12 December 2025 11:03
You can find out more and have your say using our Northumberland Design Code Hub website at
Northumberland County Council is developing a Design Code. The Code will set requirements for developers for the design of future development.
The way places are designed and built affects everyone. Where we live, work, and relax can influence how we feel, our health and wellbeing, and our feelings of safety and belonging. That’s why Northumberland County Council are launching a consultation to ask you about your neighbourhoods. Northumberland County Council want to understand what is important to you, and which aspects you think we should prioritise for well-designed places.
Northumberland County Council are inviting you to complete a survey and add your views to our interactive map. Responses are invited by 9 January 2026. If you complete the survey, you will have the opportunity to be entered into a prize draw for a £50 gift voucher. It is important to note that this consultation is targeted at individual community members therefore it is not expected to coordinate a response on behalf of Town or Parish Councils
Rest assured, that Northumberland County Council will be seeking the views of our communities and stakeholders in different ways (not just online), as the work progresses. Our Design Code website tells you more about what we have already done.
Once prepared, the Design Code will support the Northumberland Local Plan and be used to inform decisions on planning applications.
Thank you for your interest in Northumberland County Council planning work. Your views are very important to help shape our approach.
