A lively debate! - now, what about a 'Design Charter for Cornwall', so that we can all voluntarily 'sign up' and work whole-heartedly to improve our place - beyond the limits of normal development protocols/professional codes of practice/public sector strictures?...

WHAT ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
IS APPROPRIATE FOR 'A LAND APART'?

The Cornish Buildings Group, Cornwall Council, Royal Institute of British Architects and The Cornwall Architectural Trust presents new and challenging papers at a one-day

‘Cornwall is still a land apart, even if crossing the Tamar on the modern A30 at Launcestonor by the rail and road bridges at Saltash has lessened the significance of the historic
river boarder’ wrote Peter Beacham in his revision of Nikolaus Pevsner’s The Buildings of England: Cornwall (2014).
