Developments in conservation policy: the evolving role of the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment
Series: Journal of Architectural Conservation ; 10(2) July 2004, 50-65(16)Publication details: 2004Subject(s): Summary: The quality of urban design, particularly in the historic urban environment, has been recognised as a key issue in achieving the much publicised urban renaissance. To redress the apparent loss of quality that has occurred over the last 30 years, the government has sponsored a number of initiatives that promote design through influence rather than by control. The Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) has been given the opportunity to comment on a array of private and public sector design issues. Yet, in the short time since its introduction, CABE has evolved rapidly and has begun to present a more pervasive agenda that goes beyond mere guidance. This is problematic and indicates the potential introduction of a series of non-regulated requirements that need to be addressed by developers in their design solutions.
