520			_aConsiders the recent trend among architects and developers to embrace tall buildings, and discusses a leaflet produced by the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) and English Heritage that may curb opportunities for such developments in the future. The "Guidance on tall buildings" leaflet sets out guidelines specifying how the two advisory bodies will respond to planning applications for tall buildings, and provides evaluation criteria for proposals such as environmental impact, architectural quality, and co-existence with other buildings and the general townscape. The leaflet has been criticised for failing to provide a definition of tall buildings and being vague in its criteria for evaluation. In addition, the English Heritage's emphasis on location could mean listed building such as Centre Point would never have been built. Concludes that the guidance may prove unpopular with planning authorities who are already struggling to meet higher densities stipulated in planning guidance.
