Abstract
The UK is on the verge of a major expansion in housebuilding, yet recent research by the Place Alliance has revealed a chronic lack of urban design expertise in local authorities. In 2001 and 2003 the Commission for Architecture & the Built Environment (CABE) undertook a review of design skills in local authority planning departments across England. The surveys were intended to reveal what kinds of advice in the field of design quality were available to planning authorities, and in what ways more advice could usefully be provided. At the time, local authorities argued that the key reason for not taking a more active role in challenging poorly designed schemes were ‘a lack of skills; lack of policy guidance, both at a national level (e.g. in the Planning Policy Statements) and local level; and a fear of lack of support by the Planning Inspectorate’.
