Cabe launches design guidance for planners
‘A Design Wayfinder’ helps fill gap left by PPS1
Design Council Cabe (DCC) has published a new document to help planners make the case for good design under the National Planning Policy Framework.
Called ‘A Design Wayfinder’, the booklet is an attempt to address the gap left by Planning Policy Statement 1 (PPS1), which gave guidance on the influence of design on applications and development plans.
Kathy MacEwen, head of localism and planning at DCC, said: “We are delighted to publish this document, which elegantly puts together existing guidance on design in planning. It is based on our 12 years of experience in helping to create better places through planning.”

Well done, Marquise, old chap! CABE has produced a whole rainforest of guidance documents, and you summerise these many man-years of work into five simple points of architecture. Splendid show! DC will ask you to take over as Gove's design guru soon.
Good to have you back Sebastian, I thought you'd be shot on a hunt or something.....
This will not improve the slightest thing. THere should not be a CABE.
