Its terrible!!! It has to be stopped!!! It will spoil Park Circus area which is one of the best examples of Victorian town planning left. It was designed by Charles Wilson in 1850s. He was a very much under rated Architect/developer.
In my humble opinion the proposed development is totally out of character, would be more appropriate in Legoland, thats only my opinion though, Ithink Page & Park should turn over a new leaf!!!
I worked for several years in one of the terrace houses in Park Circus Place. It was "unrenovated", though well maintained, and was a magnificent place to work,though a trifle chilly in winter. The architectural detailing was magnificent. There were even carriage mounting blocks over the gutters outside some front doors. The ambience of the area made it seem that made it seem like being in a more genteel age. It is a fantastic spot dont let anyone f**k it up!!! It has to be left open space surely the Local Authoriy can cough up enough brass to buy it.
In late 60's Parking meters were banned because it would bugger up the street scape & also bugger up my parking!!!
