If it bothers them they can ask the council to fit a shield to the rear of the lamp. Alternatively, fit a blackout blind to the windows!]]> What is wrong http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17172&Focus=291402#Comment_291402 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17172&Focus=291402#Comment_291402 Thu, 02 Sep 2021 16:55:53 +0100 djh Posted By: owlmanThe windows in the boarded side of the house seem set into the face of the building a bit strange
How many houses do you think are visible in the photo? I think four. Look at the house numbers.

Well architecturally speaking, the arch on top of the right hand ground floor window somehow looks at odds to the rest of the straight lines as does the scalloped flashing, but I guess that's not what you mean, and more my take on overall design thought.

I agree they are ugly houses :) Making a row of terraced houses in different styles is bizarre to my eyes. The word 'carbuncle' comes to mind for some reason :)]]> What is wrong http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17172&Focus=291408#Comment_291408 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17172&Focus=291408#Comment_291408 Thu, 02 Sep 2021 19:17:37 +0100 owlman What is wrong http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17172&Focus=291409#Comment_291409 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17172&Focus=291409#Comment_291409 Thu, 02 Sep 2021 19:47:16 +0100 Artiglio What is wrong http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17172&Focus=291450#Comment_291450 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17172&Focus=291450#Comment_291450 Sat, 04 Sep 2021 17:37:35 +0100 jms452
When you're putting up PV it make sense to get as much up there as you can - if you care about anything other than box ticking.]]> What is wrong http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17172&Focus=291451#Comment_291451 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17172&Focus=291451#Comment_291451 Sat, 04 Sep 2021 20:58:52 +0100 WillInAberdeen
I don't think it is a terrace. There's a completely pointless 2ft gap between the brick clad one and the right hand timber clad one, which creates two completely pointless external walls.

In front of that, it looks like a parking space with no EV charger.]]> What is wrong http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17172&Focus=291452#Comment_291452 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17172&Focus=291452#Comment_291452 Sun, 05 Sep 2021 14:56:47 +0100 HollyBush What is wrong http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17172&Focus=291453#Comment_291453 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17172&Focus=291453#Comment_291453 Sun, 05 Sep 2021 15:00:20 +0100 HollyBush What is wrong http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17172&Focus=291454#Comment_291454 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17172&Focus=291454#Comment_291454 Sun, 05 Sep 2021 15:37:29 +0100 revor What is wrong http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17172&Focus=291494#Comment_291494 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17172&Focus=291494#Comment_291494 Thu, 09 Sep 2021 09:12:11 +0100 dereke The houses are too close together.
Insulation hasn't been installed correctly leading to excessive heat loss.
Plasterboard hasn't been installed correctly leading to draughts.
Heating system is noisy as pipes are incorrect size.
House is over priced.
Rooms are too small.
It faces the wrong way.
Rear garden has a plastic lawnt to prevent maintenance issues and help increase flooding.
Car dependency is locked in as no cycle routes or public transport and it is a long way from village/town.
They ran out of solar panels.
Other than it looks fine.]]> What is wrong http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17172&Focus=291868#Comment_291868 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17172&Focus=291868#Comment_291868 Thu, 23 Sep 2021 21:38:46 +0100 Newbuild
I hope this isn't a standard cavity construction. Because otherwise there is a real chance that regular plasterboard finishes are attached directly to the outer leaf.]]>
