Raised standard: English Partnerships secured planning permission on Tuesday for this 200-home development in Upton, Northampton, where it will trial the use of urban design codes.

The codes, which define the basics of a project such as the height of windows, were prepared by the Prince's Foundation and Northampton Borough Council and have won a Royal Town Planning Institute award. Developer Shenley Lodge has been selected for the 3.7 ha scheme, which will include 20% affordable homes. The architect is KRT Associates.
