The Design guide is misleading. There needs to be a photographic , accurate visual gazetteer of poor development and less successful places to demonstrate harm done and provide guidance for future planning on what to avoid.
No lessons learnt.
Visual examples in Design guide were worryingly bland exemplars of modern aspirational development and streetscapes. Developers charter to cram in too many houses into small spaces and ugly streetscape, with unrealistic expectations that everyone can walk or cycle five miles to shops, schools.(!)
