Good to use case studies to illustrate different points. My own feeling of modern buildings is that they seem to be high quality and energy efficient but sometimes lacking in character, space and good ventilation.

The case studies are very bare in terms of biodiversity and planting and creepers against the side of buildings

This chapter showcases some exemplar developments across Central Bedfordshire, which highlight the key themes from the Design Guide. It focuses on:
• Priory View, Dunstable
• Kings Reach, Biggleswade
• Fairfield Park
• Former Stewartby Brickworks
• Wixams
We understand the five case studies were selected for ‘high quality design’. They appear to have different sensitive contexts and are examples of different types of development, however this is not clear at a glance from the description or image captions.
It would be useful if there were references to the earlier chapters, confirming a number of principles identified used in practice, as well as a plan shown where appropriate, and further detail of the scheme, challenges it faced and how they were overcome, e.g. if there was a context to King’s Reach SUE, how the extension was integrated with the existing settlement.
