What this check doesn’t establish

  • The essay links it as design rules. It is national guidance on process and tools, not a set of local design codes.

Confidence applies to the scope above, not every claim made by the underlying source. How confidence works

Linked in the essay where it calls for clear design rules that respect a place's character.
