Development Design Guidelines
 In 2003, City Council endorsed the city's first Development Design Guidelines (DDG's) document with the intent of guiding future community development from the principles of "good" urban design.
The DDG's provide a minimum design standard that is expected from all developers and builders in planning, designing and constructing new communities or projects in Brampton. Through the planning and design process, the City will evaluate projects ensuring that standards are met. In addition, through the Community Design Process, developers and/or builders will be required to formally demonstrate this, through the submission of secondary plan, block plan, subdivision or site plan-specific design documents. Documents must demonstrate how the DDG's are being met, and focus on unique attributes or planned 'character' elements that will heighten the overall design of the plan, or site. For more information, please click on the Community Design Process.
From time to time the City of Brampton will make amendments to the DDG document to update or elaborate on specific elements. In this regard the DDG’s are intended to be a dynamic and “living” document. The most recent updates were the addition of new sections with guidelines for "Automotive Service Centres" (March, 2010) and "Drive-Through Facilities" (May, 2011) in Part 6 - Site Planning and Built Form under Section 2.0 Commercial Areas.
