The report presents an audit of housing design in England, funded by UCL, CPRE the countryside charity, and the Laidlaw Scholarship programme. The audit was conducted by a research team and supported by an advisory group, consultancies, and volunteer auditors. The report highlights the importance of good design in housing, as it can improve the quality of life for residents and contribute to the overall health and well-being of communities. The audit found that while there have been improvements in housing design in recent years, there is still room for improvement in terms of accessibility, sustainability, and affordability. The report concludes with a series of recommendations for policymakers and developers to consider when designing and building new housing in England.
