Housebuilders urged to find radical solutions to tackle 'bin blight' issue

摘要

Architects need to rethink the way they design bin storage for new housing developments in order to make bins less visible and prevent hazard risks to residents, according to a report by the National House Building Council (NHBC) Foundation. The NHBC study is entitled 'Avoiding Rubbish Design: Providing for bin storage on new housing'. It offers designers seven 'golden rules' for good storage design and examples of best practice which include: local bin strategy, use of available space, communal storage, collection and access, appearance and quality, flexibility and street scene.
