The infill houses in Riverside Drive have been completed so I went to see them. They are built on land that used to house garages and are not visible from the road.
The two houses have the same design but are set differently, looking left from the end of the access road the house is face-on and looking right the second house is at 90 degrees with the access road continuing across the front of it.
This is another new design, and there is nothing wrong with that. There has been some imaginative new housing in recent years, normally replacing garages, and I heartily approve.

The yellow brick is used elsewhere in Ham but not in the immediate area. The contrast helps to set the houses out as something different and there is no clash with the neighbours because of where they are hidden away.
I also like the way that each house is in two sections, either side of the entrance, presumably one for living and one for sleeping.
