And now, fibreglass chimneys!

I suppose the architects of Rowan Gardens think that the finials on the gable ends make the houses appear suitably rustic (there are no finials on any other house in Natland), but the last straw is surely the erection of false, fibreglass chimneys. This not 200 yards from Natland Hall with its wonderful Westmorland chimneys, and the village green surrounded by houses with a delightful variety of stone chimneys. This is architecture of the lowest common denominator, passed by SLDC, and is I fear the shape of things to come. But then SLDC is the planning authority which gave us the scandal of K-village.
