I rather like the way the artist has used a screen of trees in the foreground, apparently to disguise the almost sheer concrete cliff face down to the railway line at the end of those gardens ...  Roll Eyes

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

I like the way they've incorporated a paddling pool into the roof of each one

Ah, but the diving platforms are below the level of the pools; curioser and curioser!

Once again, greedy developers shove as many shoeboxes as possible onto the land- in order to line their pockets.

The new homes will have stunning views ... I don't see any problems with houses here.

Gosh, I'm impressed Btline. What sort of house must you have to think that a 5 bed, 3 reception house with around 130 sq metres of floor space is a shoebox.

The style fits perfectly with other houses in the locality. I'm glad to see the planners have ensured that's the case.
