Had a few hours off and amazed at thr number of large new build estates near me (>10 of hundreds of units at least). Went to see two show houses, normally they choose the most favourable ones with best views, biggest garden, weird shape house that has a little extra space.
Nope, smallest pokiest place I think I've ever seen in thr Uk, both cala and aome other brand, Willoughby? Lowest grade wren kitchen fitted with least amount of style, quality and thought, cheapest bulk buy bathroom, very small windows in every room and very few windows if that makea sense, I guess they spend less on proper insulation and finnese with air tightness, so then have to have smaller windows in order to get the right u value for planning regs. I. E been built in the cheapest possible way.
Could already see phase 1 owners moved in and already place looked like a giant car park for suv type cars dumped all over thr road, grass, driveways and verges in order to fit them all in. Fail.
As a country why are we standing for this? Let alone the massive increase in car journeys required in order to"live"in these places.
