I Am Supposed To To What I Am Told

Ugly blot on the landscape, or sympathetically designed for its surroundings ? What do you think ? I'm in the ugly blot camp.

Quote from article "Most objected to the proposed felling of five of the site’s 15 mature Scots pine trees to make way for a new house for McCartney, who has campaigned against deforestation."
I agree with bednobs, I like it. And honestly can't see anything wrong with the 'render' colour, it fits in with the natural colours of its surroundings.
Many of these ultra modern low lying dwellings sit beautifully in the landscape, and much consideration is given to the outside materials and colours used exactly so they do blend in...Grand Designs??
The only issue I would have is what appears to be the unnecessary removal of the Scot's pines.
Zebo it's also on a mound at rhe entrance to the village with a very steep drive and visible to all. Did you see rhe photo of the village further down my link. Anyway our district council and the residents won and now they have to build something along the lines of the bungalow they demolished and I'm sure it will have to be built in brick and flint. I'm glad too that all the other building they have done, garage etc have to be demolished as well!
Bednobs, The BBC is quite a recognised news site and plans will can be found if you know the location. More details here

i sort of have skin in this game (although not this particular one)
it has taken me several years in consultation with our local planning dept to get permission for my modern-looking extension to my 1930s house. We too had lots of objections which were all a load of niff naff (in my opinion)
from people who already have similar sized extensions themselves moaning we'd have too many cars (what??) to people moaning theyd be overlooked, clearly not realising or bothering to check that we'd be removing a window and not replacing it, and in fact i can already see directly into thier kitchen! to someone else trying to use the law relating to stadium lights not causing light pollution and apply them to our modest domestic dwelling.
I was incredibly happy on one hand that we got the permission, but also angry i had to spend a couple of grand on a planning consultant to refute all of their ridiculous claims!
also, in the original article “I fear that if these places are taken away, I will be lost". get a grip, things change!
Well I find it a real eyesore. Things change but they shouldn't change for theworse We can't get planning permission on our land for various reasons because its in a green belt and the rules say too it would have to fit into the local character which we would agree too. The estate farming company put in planning application for a huge modern chemical store next to our Norman Church. It was almost immediately turned down.
