My worry is that the Homes and Communities Agency cannot set itself up as the arbiter of good taste and aesthetics in design—this speaks to the point made by the noble Lords, Lord Lucas and Lord Greaves. That is the role of democratically elected local authorities. My worry is that changes to the Bill would give the sense that wherever the Homes and Communities Agency subsidises development it is its responsibility to constitute those design review panels.
