Details

​The Building Better, Building Beautiful Commission was an independent body set up to advise the government on how to promote and increase the use of high-quality design for new build homes and neighbourhoods.

The Commission was responsible for developing practical measures that will help ensure new housing developments meet the needs and expectations of communities, making them more likely to be welcomed, rather than resisted, by existing communities.

The Commission set out its recommendations in its report, ‘Living with beauty’, published on 30 January 2020. This document sets out how the government has responded to those recommendations. ​
