The Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE), was established in September 1999, as a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). CABE succeeded the former Royal Fine Art Commission (RFAC) which had been established by royal warrant in 1924 to advise on individual projects specifically referred to it by government departments and other public bodies. RFAC was eventually sponsored by the Department of the Environment and the Department fof National Heritage, but had no statutory powers and was abolished in April 1999.
CABE was funded by both DCMS and the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG).
CABE was made a statutory body by the Clean Neighbourhood and Envirnonment Act, 2005. CABE served as the government's statutory adviser on architecture, urban design and public space in England. Its remit was to influence and inspire the people making decisions about the built environment; working directly with architects, planners, designers and clients.
CABE's remit did not cover Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. The equivalent body in Scotland is Architecture and Design Scotland.
