Construction group slams Lottery competitions

The UK government should encourage mixed use development, according to 'Partners in Building Prosperity,' a document published in Dec 1996 by the Construction Industry Council (CIC). This document also states that plans for new industrial facilities should indicate how they are in line with sustainable development and that an architectural competition should not take place for projects which are to receive Lottery funding. The CIC is also calling for a better compensation scheme for landowners affected by development.
