A plague on your houses

Article Abstract:

Private residential builders should ensure their houses are of good quality and well designed after the long drawn out process of gaining planning permission, in the UK. Construction of units which look the same enables the sales team to use limited efforts to sell them. Builders ignore the possibility of an individually designed house being more attractive to purchasers. Some builders prefer to prepare a site for standard houses rather than utilize the area to encompass different types of housing development. Many areas look the same due to similar building developments.

Way off beam

Article Abstract:

Cheshire Oaks is a new, US-originated designer-outlet complex that has been built at Ellesmere Port, England. The complex of shops selling cut-price designer goods has been jointly developed by airport operator BAA and McArthur Glen, which operates similar projects in the U.S.. The retail village has been designed to resemble a high street but the designers' attempts to make it blend in with the surrounding architecture have failed miserably.
