The Council set up a comprehensive Design Code Project Team consisting of members of the Council’s Planning and Environmental Health, Policy & Performance and GIS teams. The Team is led by Aneta Mantio, the Special Projects Officer, overseen by the Planning Policy and Strategy Manager and the Head of Planning and Environmental Health.
In addition, the Council has appointed an independent specialist Client Advisor, Andy von Bradsky, who is integral to the Project throughout, guiding and cooperating with the Team and the appointed consultant, Allies & Morrison Urban Practitioners. He is a consultant architect living and working in the Borough, and former Head of Architecture at the Government’s Ministry of Communities and Local Government (now Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities - DLUHC), and was responsible for briefing, commissioning and guiding the production of the National Design Guide and National Model Design Code. He is committed to design quality in the built environment, community engagement in the process and sustainability.
