A/A 083S4C PREFACE. - In drculating this Volume, containing 34 type plans, the Ministry of Health wish it to be quite clearly understood that the designs are by no means the last word in cottage planning. The main intention is to provide a key to the various types for which full sheet working drawings, together with bills of quantities, have been prepared by the Ministry. Many of the types shown have been adopted by Local Authorities in various parts of the country, and it is gratifying to be able to announce that where they have been adopted, comparatively satisfactory prices have been obtained both in open competition and for agreed price contracts. It is unnecessary to point out also that a considerable amount of time has been saved by adopting the type plans and quantities, and it is hoped that in the present period of extreme urgency a much more extended use will be made of them not only by local authorities, but by all bodies or persons embarking on building schemes. The drawings illustrate numerous variations in planning and external design, but speaking generally they only cover the two types giving the accommodatio'n which meets the normal requirements for cottages. Class A.— Cottages containing living room, scullery, 3 bedrooms, and necessary offices. Class B. — ^Which contain a parlour in addition to the above. Certain of the plans, however, provide for 4 bedrooms, the fourth bedroom being rendered possible by reason of the central passage in a block of 4 houses. Special attention^ is drawn to those houses which have been designed with extra long frontages and shallow depths. These types are especially suitable on hilly sites. Consideration has been given to the question of aspect, and each plan is marked so as to render selection easy. Speaking generally it may be taken that the plans are the result of working experience in all parts of the country and are so designed as to meet divergent local views and requirements. The full sheet working drawings can be obtained by Local Authorities and Public Utihty Societies from the Ministry of Health, Whitehall, or from the Housing Commissioners. The quantities appertaining to each type can be purchased from H.M. Stationery Office, at the addresses shown on the cover of this manual, price 3d. per copy net.
