Tudor Walters Report
The Tudor Walters Report on housing was produced by the Tudor Walters Committee of the United Kingdom Parliament in October 1918. Its recommendations set the standards for council house design and location for the next 90 years.
Tudor Walters was the chairman. Raymond Unwin, architect to Letchworth Garden City and Hampstead Garden Suburb, was a member.
In 1912 Raymond Unwin published a pamphlet, Nothing gained by Overcrowding, outlining the principles of the Garden City.
The Local Government Board in 1912 recommended that:
Cottages for the working classes should be built with wider frontages and grouped around open spaces which would become recreation grounds. They should have three bedrooms, a large living room, a scullery fitted with a bath and a separate WC to each house with under cover access
They published five model plans. Two had an additional parlour, four were terraced and one was semi detached. They had an area 820 square feet (76 m2) to 1,230 square feet (114 m2).
The First World War indirectly provided a new impetus. The poor physical health and condition of many urban recruits to the army was noted with alarm. This led to a campaign known as "Homes fit for heroes". The Office for Works built the Well Hall Estate in Eltham for workers at the Royal Ordnance Factory in Woolwich. This had been built on Garden City principles with fine Arts and Crafts details.
