I can see why Jonathan thinks I might consider landscaping not worthy of funding, but that isn't true. Ironically perhaps, I'm involved as an adviser on an urban landscape scheme at the moment, and the validity or importance of the scheme is not in question. But having worked in teams with council officers on urban regeneration schemes in several cities, I know it often does come down to a situation where landscaping is value engineered out of the equation. I'm not suggesting this is right, I'm simply stating that housing has to be the first priority.
