What a relief this latest monstrosity was blocked.

Who are they using as architects? Their pupils?

If only; they would come up with something better, I’m sure…

I find it completely baffling that permission is sought for one end of a building, with no information about the other half. It was built in two phases, but is in every other way a single building. Planning must demand a whole-building solution, without delay.
