An Opportunity to
Oer Something Better
At the time of writing, local authorities
and delivery partners face a challenging
time for good design. Fragmented place-
making policy, and the viability test’s
preference for minimal investment in the
assets that contribute to good design,
At Ashford in Kent, the
council has created a
‘Quality Agreement’ for its
development at Chilmington
Green. The agreement,
which is believed to be a
first in the UK, is a statement
of intent, and sets out
how the developer team
will work with the council
and the local community
to design and deliver the
development.
