A much-needed open discussion of beauty and design in housebuilding putting the public/community first. One to attend. https://t.co/ySgiuJyxJE https://t.co/TxLZVqs98e @csm_news@ollywainwright
Very pleased to see the intention to champion beauty, quality and communities in building new homes. The real essence of placemaking and a tenet of the BIMBY toolkit. https://t.co/7OHM22mBsq
Ben Bolgar in today's @TimesProperty@CarolLewis101 on why the conclusions on housing diversity in the Letwin Review are to be welcomed. https://t.co/TcFRl5YwNQ
We welcome the focus on placemaking in the Letwin Review but that shouldn't stop at housing types and tenures. See Ben Bolgar's commentary @BDonline https://t.co/Vm2SV0IH1s
Delighted to have Poundbury praised for being designed around people @TfNHomes The need to 'reproduce the success of Poundbury' is being tackled with the success of Nansledan and other sites, but it could be faster if we had the support of more planners https://t.co/SslIlqJqXw
Will a greater emphasis on design standards in the revised NPPF encourage councils to refuse planning for poorly designed housing? Ben Bolgar joins the discussion @BolgarB @PrincesFound @PlanningMag https://t.co/anRGMmcEQ5
We can build better housing and now is the time for more pioneering projects that combine quality, quantity and affordability to come forward. It's all possible. https://t.co/qx0bA7Ppli @PrincesFound @BDonline
Local community engagement is vital to achieving quality and quantity in house building. It's something @PrincesFound has advocated strongly for sometime https://t.co/jRmlKnwHqn
.@CarolLewis101: beautiful design really does matter. I've spoken to @PrincesFound about how we make this the norm. We need to look at what ppp actually like about old houses & try & translate that into contemporary design alongside trad design #pxhousing#cpc18
Nice to have Nansledan singled out for community building by the PM: 'Some say that quantity, quality and affordability must always be traded off against. Well, to them, I say look at the Nansledan development.' https://t.co/EmUHFfkzVK
Our BIMBY (Beauty-In-My-Backyard) online toolkit https://t.co/GSQxib6Te9 fits perfectly with the new NPPF https://t.co/rxLdg0iPSt helping communities build the right homes in the right places @PrincesFound
