Design Planning Practice Guidance
The consultation on a new design guidance ended in March 2026.
In a presentation to the Urban Design Group, reported by Building Design, David Rudlin considers what the guidance got right – and where it went wrong.
He is is founding principal of Rudlin & Co and visiting professor at Manchester School of Architecture and a co-author of High Street: How our town centres can bounce back from the retail crisis, published by RIBA Publishing.
Here is a summary of his views on the proposed Design PPG.
