Learning

What learning do you offer?

Clients can access the broad professional expertise of the designe Panel for a range of bespoke learning sessions to upskill in-house staff.

designe Ltd along with its eight partners in the Design Network received funding from the first wave of the Planning Delivery Fund to help Local Authorities speed up planning decisions and deliver, quality new homes. This funding enabled designe Ltd to focus on helping to increase the skills and learning of both councillors, planning officers, and communities in improving design quality and delivery outcomes.

The recently published National Design Guide challenges us to rethink local design policy and how we evaluate design quality. In order to make effective planning decisions officers and elected members need to understand what the guide says and how to use it. MHCLG have commissioned designe Ltd as part of the Design Network to deliver this National Design Guide learning event for Local Planning Authorities in the North East. The training is designed to enable those involved in planning, housing and regeneration to develop an understanding of the National Design Guide.

Delegates can expect to:
- understand how the National Design Guide relates to local planning practice
- become familiar with the 10 characteristics of the National Design Guide and their interconnections
- understand how the framework fits into wider national planning policy
- be able to make practical use of the National Design Guide to evaluate design quality 

At the moment the event is only for officers and elected members in local planning authorities in North East England and places are limited. Because of Covid 19 restrictions we cancelled the planned event but are busy developing a series of online seminars to ensure that we can still deliver the training.
