What the hell is it with Studio Spicer? They seem to want to turn Stratford into some nasty looking set from a Science Fiction B-movie: http://www.stratford-herald.com/79891-former-stratford-pub-demolished-apartments.html


This plan has been kicked out. No doubt the architect will submit a slightly less ugly design that might just scrape through planning: http://www.stratford-herald.com/82143-inappropriate-apartments-plan-rejected.html

Often things are done that way on purpose. Ugly design that they know will be rejected followed by intended design that gets nodded through for fear of the original rejection being appealed.

So much for the supposedly community friendly CoOp encouraging people to live healthy lifestyles. This proves yet again that it's all about the bottom line: https://www.rugbyadvertiser.co.uk/news/plans-to-build-retirement-village-on-oakfield-rec-submitted-1-8412877

It's all about the little god of money. - Sad really, isn't it? Especially when you consider that money is actually worthless and not backed by anything concrete. The promise on a note is totally meaningless.

More housing for Leamington/Warwick. No doubt the 40% social housing will be severely cut back: https://www.leamingtoncourier.co.uk/news/plans-to-be-put-forward-for-420-homes-between-leamington-and-warwick-1-8421668

Typical of local government policies: loopholes you can get a load of 4 bedroom houses through!

Looks that way doersn't it?

Once gone, it's gone forever and that's what worries me. If we controlled immigration properly there'd be no need for all of this expansion and house building.

If (when) the sh*t really hits the fan, this country simply couldn't support itself with food. Surely, that is a security risk and one that ought be avoided at all costs?

That looks an interesting development and one that potentially has long lasting future benefits.
