Building Regs should be about safety, making buildings which are safe for the occupants to enjoy without danger from them collapsing, going up in flames, people falling out of windows etc. Instead they are (like the planning process) increasingly driven it seems by social engineering concerns.

Ever tried to obtain a secured by design award for example? Damned difficult unless you start on the perfect site and with a design perfectly suited to meeting its many criteria, to the point where I've never actually bothered to try. Yet this is the kind of thing which any review is likely to want to include, to make the process even more complicated and more of a burden, and not less!

(BTW what happened to my earlier comment? Deleted for no reason?)
