Section 5: Building design
Does the term 'tenure blind' need to be explained further?
Could this section point to case studies of best practice as in section 4? If not individual case studies could a link be given to organisations that provide best practice such as The Design Council http://www.designcouncil.org.uk/our-services/built-environment or the Urban Design Group http://www.udg.org.uk

CambridgePPF believes section 4 could do with some tightening up and expanding in terms of wording especially with regards to:
a. Site layout and distribution: Could this section point to case studies of best practice?

b. Design review process - our understanding was that schemes were requested by the City Council to come before the panel rather than the choice being that of the applicants. We believe the weblink to Cambridge Association of Architect's website is out of date as there appears to be no guidance on how to submit a proposal via that link.
