Design guides
Guidelines prepared by local authorities to coordinate and advise developers on expected standards, especially within the public realm.
For example, a design guide may encourage windows for the natural surveillance of each street, preventing buildings from ‘turning their back’.

As an example, see Brent Council's Design Guide for Barnhill.
