High quality design
As the Planning and Infrastructure Bill makes its way through Parliament, the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has lodged an amendment to the Bill to ensure design quality is at the heart of new development.
The amendment requires spatial development strategies, such as the London Plan, to include a design vision for the strategy area that meets the practical needs of residents and communities, and reflects the principles of safety, sustainability and accessibility.
