Cabe was not the author of its demise. It was clear from the start that it had no part to play in the Tory agenda to cut investment in homes, infrastructure, schools etc. It may have tried to reinvent itself but without the very minimal financial support that could have kept it going it was bound to disappear. If it goes, there will be no national defender of design in the built environment. This is more than a shame, it is tragic and BD should be arguing the case for its survival. Do we believe that design can be facilitated and delivered by BIM, Localism, the NPPF without design review, enabling and local support for overstretched and understaffed planning authorities? Having left the financial affairs of the country to the market can we do the same for the built environment?
