  Very good point Mark.
  
  It amazes me the absolutely awful developments that are churned out in our modern age. Can nobody see the irony of creating a faux Victorian semi, complete with block paved parking space and upvc windows with a plastic glazing bar INSIDE the glass. Planners should be ashamed.
  
  I often pass through Paddlesworth and see the Legoland sprawl that has now become Hawkinge. Souless tat. Buyers are presented with type A, B or C and seem to think this some kind of choice when really it is just an arrangement of blocks straight out of the Metric Handbook with a downstairs loo a different place.
  
  The RIBA should be lobbying for designers to concern themselves with being innovative with the many empty properties in this country, a move that preserve trades and enrich our environment. New builds are required but why they have to be so souless is beyond me.
