I still think FH has a lot of merit architecturally largely due to the 1930's influence. There have however been several 'atrocities' over the years not least UPVC mansions in Devonshire Road which looks like an advert for Everest double glazing. I don't think the Berkelely Homes development adds anything but in fact is too overbearing and blocks the long view of the Christchurch steeple from the station platforms and also from further up London Road.

I don't think Jeff's proposals are very good to be honest and need a thorough rethink. It does look like an air traffic control tower. Art is meant to be challenging and thought provoking but at least you can leave the gallery at any time and go home. If you have to look at this building every day I think it will become a little wearing. No no no.
