County Durham Plan

Policy 62

All countryside development will:

accord with the catalogue of form and texture*

**unless adequately mitigated or compensated for; or of outstanding architectural merit; or by order of the secretary of state for levelling up, housing and communities*

We created a library of forms by modelling 30 or so distinct buildings near/around Bearpark, County Durham. They were made to scale and placed on what we called a ‘playsheet’. People could pick these forms up from various places around the table, bring them to the center where there was space to play with them. They could combine/collage them to make new forms. A booklet accompanied the models with Google Earth snapshots of buildings that these were modelled after.
