The use of Design Codes specific to a local area is critical, this should reflect local building typologies and topography. There has to a recognition that forms of construction are changing through modern methods of construction, and design codes should allow for flexibility for new house building technologies where they are contributing towards the objective of being carbon neutral. The preparation of an area wide Design Code for Greater Cambridge would be supported.
