A recent spate of "improvements" in Wates Estate is slowly changing the character of the place as original designs and colours (predominantly white) are replaced.
It is, of course, a matter of personal preference and the owners have made these changes knowingly but I think that the changes are to be regretted. Individually the properties look fine and it is only when you look at them in the context of their unamended neighbours that the problem becomes apparent.
If there ever was a battle to protect the character of the buildings in Wates Estate then it has been lost. I hope that the landscaping remains safe.
