I REPLY to Tim Masters letter Design Matters on July 1.

I too may be "uninformed" (his comments about Prince Charles and Peers Carter), but find his comment that "whether homes are made from brick, glass or candyfloss is irrelevant" both flippant and equally ill-informed.

Surely carefully chosen materials form an integral part of any good design.

I look forward with interest to his designs for candyfloss buildings.

At least they would have the merit of dissolving away in the rain, unlike the permanent proposed structures in the Edinburgh House development, which will blight Gravesend's riverside heritage for decades.
