North Tyneside Council is inviting residents to help shape the appearance of development in the Borough.

The Council's Planning Policy team is producing a new Design Code and advice for preparation of planning applications for new development. The code will replace North Tyneside's current Design Quality Supplementary Planning Document.

Development can have an effect on everyone in North Tyneside. The Council is keen to ensure new development looks good, is safe, inclusive, accessible, good for the environment and enhances health and well-being of our borough.

Sharing your views on these things to help shape how the Council influences these things is really important.

We have set up a number of ways, via the links below, for you to consider design and let us know your views.
