==Context==
House design in the United Kingdom is defined by a series of Housing Acts, and public housing house design is defined by government directives and central governments relationship with local authorities. From the first interventions in the [[Public Health Act 1875]], council houses could be homes fit for heroes, general housing aimed at the working classes, general housing for all, parts of a slum clearance programme or just homes provided for the most needy. They could be funded directly, through central government incentive or by revenue obtained when other houses were sold. Increasingly, they have been transferred through the instrument of [[housing association]]s into the private sector.
The [[Public Health Act 1875]] defined the standards needed for terraced through housing.
