Welcome to DDQ
Delivering Design Quality is a project managed by Transform South Yorkshire, which helps developers and builders to deliver good design and quality schemes to South Yorkshire's Housing Market and Renewal (HMR), Green Corridor and Growth Point areas.
The DDQ programme is sponsored by a partnership between Transform South Yorkshire (TSY), the Home Builders Federation (HBF), the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE), the four South Yorkshire local authorities (Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield) and Wakefield in West Yorkshire.
DDQ will offer practical and financial support to house-builders and developers in the wider TSY area who are committed to improving their design quality standards. Our aim is for all new housing developments to achieve Building for Life silver or gold standards and for the industry in South Yorkshire to be recognised as market leaders in residential design quality.
DDQ will aim to assist the local authorities in better developing a robust and sustainable design agenda, and to raise awareness of the constraints facing development industry. DDQ will help with achieving a more efficient, effective and predictable planning process.
The project will also aim to enable consumers to better understand the benefits of a well-designed home and environment.
