Under the headline "Outlawed.. the stars' mock period homes" a few choice quotes.
( Seems to fall into line with a few comments on here about this Government wishing to revolutionise planning in the country.. )
"Ministers today axed guidance that had allowed such homes, which they condemned as a "pastiche of historic style", to be built in the countryside.
They said local authorities should favour innovative modern designs instead. "
The aim is to create
"....buildings that people will want to visit in 100 years time."
"The new PPS7 guidance for rural England makes it easier for people to overcome strict regulations on new homes in the countryside if the designs 'reflect the highest standards of contemporary architecture'"
So there's the answer.
Dick, do a Ken Bates and build in a flat above one of the stands at Falmer.
Tell Prescott its your new country retreat, sorted.
