## Description

Stockport has been selected as part of DLUHC's next round of design code pathfinders and has been awarded £120,000 of funding\. We are looking for a consultant to prepare an authority-wide design code for the borough with a focus on optimising density through the design of new development\. This would recognise the need for new development across the borough while also ensuring developments complement and enhance their surroundings and create liveable environments\. As part of the pathfinder project, we are required to explore how design codes can reduce opposition to new development, by empowering local communities to set standards that they expect all new development to meet, by winning hearts and minds\.
