“Already these so-called #greenfield developments — houses built on previously #BareLand, just as the name suggests — are changing the #terrain of #Australia’s #cities.

The new #developments are easy to spot from the street, or the air, thanks to the sea of grey roof tiles.

Where once #ResidentialDevelopment was concentrated around #economic centres, now it’s #bulging outwards to an extent that the connection to city-living is tenuous at best.”

The barely mentioned issue that needs to be addressed, #population and #planning.

For major #developments #PlanningUK is broken.

Here is a high-profile example from central #London but similar examples are floundering in many large towns & cities.

That's not to say the proposed designs are always the best, because the lack of partnership with #LocalCommunities condemns #architects and #planners to play pass-the-parcel with #PlanningGuidance treated as #PlanningRules.
