Nottingham City Council has no stylistic preference and designs will be appraised purely in terms of their suitability and architectural and urban merit. However, buildings shall be generally designed to appreciate their context unless otherwise agreed on specific cases. A number of good examples are shown in the Three Words: what architecture means to Nottingham publication (2019). Nottingham City Centre Urban Design Guide (2009) explains Nottingham’s urban form, massing and other design matters in more depth.
