What do you like about Bucks? What would you change?
Well, Bucks Council are asking residents for their opinions!
They have been selected as one of 14 local authorities to participate in the national pilot to test the new National Model Design Code, receiving a £50,000 grant from the Government to develop a Design Code for Buckinghamshire.
A Design Code is a document that contains design rules for new developments, covering the design of streets, public spaces and buildings, as well as spaces created for water and nature. The Design Code for Buckinghamshire will set rules that developers need to follow.
Using a brand new, innovative web portal, bucks.place, you can tell them what you think – both good and bad – about where you live, and other local developments in the surrounding areas.
Using your smartphone or computer, you can tag your location, type your thoughts and snap a relevant photo to tell us your thoughts about homes, nature, infrastructure and more. You can also tell us about the problems and issues you may face living in Buckinghamshire, and what you would like to see in future.
Your involvement will help the Council to shape the future development of Buckinghamshire, ensuring that we are creating an exciting, accessible and thriving place for you to live.
