A kind of ‘Why Complain (It’ll Get Planning Anyway)’ shot in the style of the bailiffs-are-coming programmes?

Celebrity Special with Robert Plant and Robbie Williams?

the most annoying part of that programme is his over-usage of the word "space" to describe what you and i would refer to as a "room".
grotty little show.

not in keeping with the character of the area
Grand Designs Abroad was the worse for that. Wealthy Brits scoffing at country folks because they're not "getting" their architectural monstrosity. Or despairing that their local builder hasn't got a subscription to Dezeen and aren't in sync with their mood board.

my wife's really into this george clarke programme where "unfortunate"(?) people with ugly and/or badly designed houses get them revamped by an architect. it should be called "cleanshirt gets an extension" because that's basically what it is.
anyway, they almost always get some edgy facade or cladding put on the front of the house and sometimes they do little voxpops with boomer neighbours about how this MODERN building fits within the existing estate or village or whatever.
i always think a much more interesting programme would focus on these petty planning grievances and the time rich, cash rich, perspective poor people who live for them. "not in keeping with the character of the area with george clarke"
