Back to Richmond Chase

I get drawn back to Richmond Chase every few weeks to check on progress and while there is usually little or no change between visits occasionally the work moves on and some more of the development is revealed. On this occasion the next phase of town houses were open for inspection.

The first phase, at the top of the picture, was already occupied and the frontages were stuffed with cars. Sadly this will be the fate of the whole development and the almost car-free views in the sales literature will be a distant memory.

The occupation of the frontages is happening in stages. First, and this is the good bit, a few plants and trees are planted between the houses. Then the bin stores (also missing from the sales literature) arrive and already the sweep of the road is gone. Finally the owners and their cars come and the narrow road just looks messy.
