West Midlands Design Charter

1: Character

Regional Ambition

Developers will be expected to produce unique, innovative proposals that are grounded in a sound understanding of the local context and acknowledge the diversity of the West Midlands’ communities and geography.

Local Distinctiveness

New development should respond to the qualities that characterise the locality’s ‘spirit of place’ for residents, businesses and visitors. Schemes should contribute to the creative and cultural identity of the local environment and benefit local communities.
