Gateshead Placemaking SPD
The purpose of the Gateshead Placemaking SPD is to set out, with reference to Local Plan policies, more detailed planning policy guidance on the principles of good design for all types of development within Gateshead, and to explain how Local Plan policies will be applied in the context of recent guidance and requirements.
The SPD provides practical guidance on the opportunities for incorporating public art as part of development proposals and reflects Gateshead Council's aspiration to reinforce the concept of 'Creative Gateshead'. This refers to how creative experiences and opportunities can improve the quality of life as well as the look and feel of the borough.
Following the adoption of Making Spaces for Growing Places in February 2021, an update of the Placemaking SPD was prepared and adopted by Gateshead Council on 26 May 2022.
