Milton Keynes Design Codes approved

Milton Keynes Council have approved two Design Codes produced by Define on behalf of our client, L&Q. The Whitehouse South and Whitehouse Town Centre Design Codes were approved in March 2024 to facilitate the ongoing delivery of the Milton Keynes Western Expansion Area (MKWEA).

Whilst being markedly different in their focus - the Whitehouse South Design Code addressing primarily residential development and the Whitehouse Town Centre Design Code planning for a mix of land uses - both Design Codes concentrate on high quality placemaking principles that were established in the original Outline Planning Permission to promote the formation of communal life with health and wellbeing at its heart.

When complete, Milton Keynes Western Expansion Area will provide 6,550 homes, employment land, primary schools, a secondary school, alongside new opportunities for health, retail, and other uses, all set within an expansive network of new open spaces for the new community.
