Whatever the merits of the individual blocks in Ham Close, the area needs to be redeveloped because it is very poor use of the space. In the picture above a vast amount of space has been wasted on a large car park and the landscaped areas are just grass.
Ham is noted for the landscaping in Wates Estate and Parkleys but Ham Close lets the area down by doing almost nothing with the spaces between the buildings.
At least there are a few trees in this picture (I have absolutely no idea why there are not lots more) but the scene is still dominated by another underused car park, a wide road and a flat lawn.

The new Ham Close development promises to be an awful lot better than this and will be a real boost to the area.
