Design Code Pathfinder - Public Consultation

Consultation events will be held 22 - 24 November 2022

Work continues on our plans for St Cuthbert’s Garden Village.

Following on from last year’s Design Code Pilot programme, where 14 local authorities tested the draft National Model Design Code, bids were invited to take part in the next stage of the Design Code implementation. Carlisle is one of 25 areas in England that have been awarded a share of £3 million to help them set their own standards for design locally. 

When finalised, the design code will influence new development at St Cuthbert’s Garden Village. To help create a code with the right balance, we need to understand more about what existing local communities think about this part of Carlisle and the design of new development.

The first public consultation on the St Cuthbert’s Design Code will take place at the following locations between 2pm and 7pm on:

• Tuesday 22 November at Carlisle Racecourse, Durdar Road, Carlisle.
• Wednesday 23 November at Creighton Rugby Club,  Sycamore Lane, Carlisle.
• Thursday 24 November at Cummersdale Village Hall, Cummersdale.

The events will seek your views and input on key themes and locations, to help inform the content of the future Design Code.

In addition to these events, an online questionnaire has been produced to help capture your comments. Please click here to access the questionnaire.
