Its the ongoing senseless damage of the environment by allowing the construction of high density (council - low density ????!!!!) housing.
The buildings are of very low quality yet priced at a premium (look at the cabinet work - construction poor ). The frames are simple box affairs which are weak and depend on sheets of chipboard to keep them stable. Some of these are exposed in the build process. We all know yellow tongue is the cheap and not weather proof (like wrist warches) . They are apt to leak, rot within the walls warp - due to very low standard of weather proofing (just as their bathrooms are). The rooms are very small and sleeping areas upstairs creating a fire risk and also endangering tenants as there are no fire doors on rge garage, stairs have no emergency lighting, are not of fire proof construction, very steep not deep and are very narrow. the floor under the upper floor is compound timber beams - open to garage and exposed to the yellow longue flooring.
The units are only suitable for temporary accommodation for those moving between jobs. not suitable for families aged or disabled. no disable approaches enreies are available let alone furniture to suite.
no open spaces - very little light - current light rules are a disgrace - this faced with heat in summer damp and cold in winter incurring large electricity costs which few can afford. Mold etc. is because of insufficient insulation and damp proofing of the internal walls. Thus little light dampness most year round - sickness inducing environment. Add to this the isolation with neighbours.
Garages and parking spaces insufficient for current tenants. minimum 2 per one bedroom unit. The garages are used for storage thus fire risk. with RV's and 4x4 mobility is difficult and dangerous to tenants and their vehicles - they park on road even when there is no off street parking allowance - making a two way a one way without adjusting the traffic flow.
Small water tanks - 500lt for 3 bedroom ????? should be 5000lt , no solar panels , no insulated sky lights etc - environmentally an absolute disaster.
Buy a house and land package and you'll be streaks ahead than these shoe boxes all the same same made of tick tacky
