[Marcus Wilshere @WIL5HERE]

Back from a couple of days in Bristol helping present urban design training to planning inspectors as part of the Planning Inspectorate’s excellent line up of speakers including former colleagues and collaborators Matthias Wunderlich and Rob Cowan.

Delighted to have been invited to a roundtable on design codes chaired by @Esther Kurland of @Urban Design London and organised by @earlscourtdevco. But so far still no clarity from government on how they see Codes being used in future. #EarlsCourtDesignCode

Amazing visit to Garden Barge Square - country lanes floating on the Thames! If you can grow full size trees even here then what’s stopping us doing more on land?

Labour have 5 golden rules for building on the ‘grey belt’ but not one is about proximity to public transport infrastructure.

@BrentToderian Remember, good (urban) design is not an end in itself - it’s how much it contributes to improving quality of life that matters.

RIP Shane MacGowan. I knew him from the Nips (aka Nipple Erectors) post punk and the at the early Pogues gigs (Islington’s Hope and Anchor). Despite the rebel bravado, a shy, sensitive young man who only remembered my name when he was pissed but a lovely guy.
