Star of the British design industry Sir Terence Conran is to work with the Government to help create a new competition to give communities a chance to design their own neighbourhoods, Housing Minister Grant Shapps has announced.
It came as Sir Terence and the minister called on house builders to involve local people as early as possible in the design of new homes – helping to encourage communities to say yes to new housing.
The competition will be launched at a forthcoming summit this Autumn with communities invited to submit their designs for Sir Terence and other design industry stalwarts to judge.
