    Budget? Size? Number of occupants/rooms? Flat or sloping site? Which directions are 'open'? Views? Shelter or shading?

    If it's holiday lets, should we not worry about absolute performance in winter?

    Should they be 'clearly eco', or look and behave like normal houses?

    I know how you love internal insulation so you probably don't need me to mention it :).... it will give a quick response to heating -ideal for holiday home?
