The National Design Guide and National Model Design Code illustrate how well- designed, healthy, inclusive, social and green places can be achieved. They provide detailed advice on creating safe, inclusive and accessible homes, buildings and public spaces, prioritising walking and cycling, and green space and biodiversity in new development that promotes activity and social interaction. Given these existing duties and safeguards, I am concerned that these amendments would create unnecessary duplication and cut across provisions that already permeate the planning system.
