Stella Mccartney's Ugly Blot.

[Canary42]

Ugly blot on the landscape, or sympathetically designed for its surroundings ? What do you think ? I'm in the ugly blot camp.

Quote from article "Most objected to the proposed felling of five of the site’s 15 mature Scots pine trees to make way for a new house for McCartney, who has campaigned against deforestation."

Reading that article got me madder and madder Canary.  Have to go for a shower now to cool myself down.  Oh and I agree with you 120%.  What a two faced madam she is!

[Ringlet]

Definitely ugly blot

[ToraToraTora]

To quote the King: "It's a monsterous carbuncle on the face of humanity"!

[ToraToraTora]

It's like Emma  Thompson flying across the Atlantic to attend an extinction rebellion rally in London!

[Countrylover]

Ugly and I presume its a second home.  The locals who oppose it are right. She probably won't be spending much time there.  

[ladybirder]

It's cutting down the trees that gets me, well one of the things that gets me.

[Countrylover]

Living as we do where 2nd homes have taken over and are empty most of the time, this has taken place.  The house is a total monstrosity.  But the locals have now won!  :0))

[Countrylover]

Me too LB!

People seem to think that these "celebrities" support a cause because they believe in it whereas, in reality, it's just a means of keeping their face in the public eye. cf, the Sussexes who've just jetted off on holiday somewhere..

[Countrylover]

Very true!

If it was remote enough it would hardly matter what it looks like.  And I think it is ugly.

Did they really need to cut down trees to build it?

[ladybirder]

She's been refused Planning Permission Sandy.

[youngmafbog]

Cut down trees for THAT?

Good God, what is she thinking?

[Canary42]

That's good news LB, thank you for heads-up.

Oh, so pleased that that monstrosity is to be demolished!  If someone wants to build such a hideous building then let them build it on the container docks at Felixstowe where it won't look out of place,   How they were every given persmission for  needs investigating

[bednobs]

who says its been refused?  On mine it says "under consideration"

i cant comment on the OP as i havent seen the plans

[pastafreak]

Based only on that render...it's hideous and does nothing to enhance the surrounding area. 

And why, oh WHY do trees need to be cut down? At least work with them!

[bednobs]

what render?  isthe picture with the article what it's going to look like?

[pastafreak]

Yes bednobs. I hope I used the correct term.

[bednobs]

does it say anywhere in the article the picture is what it it proposed to look like?

If so, i like it :)
