Good Design in Housing Development

good design: good design should be the aim of all those involved in housing development and will be encouraged everywhere. All new housing developments should demonstrate a high quality of design, layout (including road infrastructure considerations) and landscaping. Good design contributes to the creation of places to live that are safe and attractive and is also a key element in achieving sustainable development. Councils should bring forward local planning policy or guidance for achieving quality in residential development, including proposals for residential extensions or alterations.
