This was a fascinating conversation, going far beyond the nuts and bolts of some obscure regulation. It touches on so many truly essential and important aspects of how to make good architecture. I don't even work in the UK and I found it very informative. The discussion on local materials and character was especially interesting. It brought to mind a book that was so formative for me when I was an architecture student. It is called "The Pattern of English Building by Alec Clifton-Taylor. I have a question - To what extent can smaller homes meet the criteria? There are many reasons, including but beyond financial, for why people may want to build smaller but to a high level of quality. Are smaller country homes being approved through this process?
