Representation ID: 492

Received: 31/01/2019

Respondent: Mrs Glenda Baum

Representation Summary:

The quality and appearance of our most recent development, East Beach Walk (EBW), is not fit for purpose. This is because of previously known high level of ground water. . The residents Facebook page relates houses have damp floors and carpets needing replacement and badly fitting doors and windows. All future developments should have real mitigation against becoming boggy. Finally, the design of most new estates, EBW among others, is boring being almost unifrom red brick boxes with small windows. What has happened to modern architecture that is pleasing to look at, functional and is designed for the particular location?
