The majority of new builds are generic boxes and although developers claim they are high quality design, as with Ironmonger's Yard that developer Donard asserts is an improvement to Rochester Castle, they are not. They are bland and unimaginative and the council would be well placed to place a greater store on the aesthetic and historic value of the old towns of Medway. I refer in particular to Rochester High Street and Intra, which have very varied buildings and roof lines. I wish to preserve the uniqueness and not hide it behind grey cubes of concrete.
