Building for Life is a tool for assessing the design quality of homes and neighbourhoods in England. It was developed by the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE), with partners the Home Builders Federation, the Civic Trust and Design for Homes. The Building for Life tool comprises 20 questions, or ''criteria'',〔CABE, (''Building for Life: The 20 criteria'' ), 4 November 2008.〕 to assess the design quality of new housing developments, resulting in a numerical score. The criteria reflect the importance of functionality, attractiveness and sustainability in well-designed homes and neighbourhoods. The approach embodied by the criteria is based on national planning policy guidance〔Communities and Local Government, (''Planning Policy Statement 1: Delivering Sustainable Development'' ), 31 January 2005.〕〔Communities and Local Government, (''Planning Policy Statement 3: Housing'' ), 9 June 2010.〕〔Communities and Local Government, (''Planning Policy Statement 17: Planning for Open space, Sport and Recreation'' ), 24 July 2002〕 and on urban design principles.〔CABE, (''By Design: urban design in the planning system towards better practice'' ), April 2000.〕〔Department for Transport, (''Manual for Streets'' ), 2007, Thomas Telford Ltd, ISBN 978-0-7277-3501-0.〕 The criteria also link to other standards for housing design, including the BREEAM EcoHomes standard, the Code for Sustainable Homes,〔Communities and Local Government, (''The code for sustainable homes: setting the standard in sustainability for new homes'' ), 27 February 2008〕 Lifetime Homes〔Lifetime Homes, (Lifetime Homes, ''16 Design Criteria from 5 July 2010 (REVISED)'' )〕 and ''Secured by Design''.〔Secured by Design, (''Secured by Design, New Homes 2010'' )〕 ==Uses== Uses for Building for Life include the following: *The basis of development briefs written by developers and housing associations *A tool to assess compliance with quality standards, for projects being considered for public sector funding, or being built on publicly owned land *An assessment method included by local authorities developing local planning frameworks, core strategies and supplementary planning guidance *A framework for Design Teams to structure Design and Access statements supporting their planning applications *Assessments by local authorities during pre-planning discussions and in reviewing planning applications *An auditing and monitoring tool, to allow local and national government to audit the quality of completed projects *An award scheme aimed at showcasing and celebrating better quality housing projects after completion *A best practice resource, through the website and case study library. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Building for Life」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
