40 Of The Worst Planning Examples That Were ‘Imposed On Our Environment’, According To This Twitter Page (New Pics)
The Twitter account '[Bad] Planning' calls itself a "celebration of all the [messed up] stuff imposed on our environment." And regardless of how you feel about the need to have one, the account gives exactly what it promises.
Focusing on everything from minor hiccups such as misleading road markings to more extreme cases of incompetence, like deadly-looking crooked turrets above a pedestrian lane, '[Bad] Planning' holds nothing back when calling out architects, planners, surveyors, engineers, and other "environmental ne'er do wells."
I guess it's true what they say, the bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of price is forgotten. (A statement the account proudly 'wears' on its cover image, too.)

I assume it's a dentists now? Tbf, for a dentists I prefer the new one, so if it really is a dentists, I get it. The original looks like someone's home (and probably was?), the new one looks like I can actually trust them to take cere of my teeth properly.

Probably due to one of the perculiarities of UK planning law. This is an extension to an existing property, possibly a garage that has been converted, and it likely didn't have windows on that side in the original plans. They would have to have got permission to put windows in facing that way, and it was probably objected to as it overlooks a bungalow (off camera to the right). This is the side of the property and it has multiple windows front and rear. [I found it on Google maps]

Saxmundham - go figure ; I lived near here for 3 years back in the 90's and it was a bit off kilter then, looks like it's more so now.

I don't get the outrage. Isn't this just a transformer that has a locked shell? It helps to power the area. You see them in a lot of places, usually at the end of large neighborhood streets and near large complexes.

That huge white third floor in the middle house. The vertical window in the middle house. Well, actually the squeeze on the middle house too. Then the 4th house over seems so tiny too.

Not sure why the titles are so aggressive. There's no round about here, just a lane divide. And yes, a curb to help keep bicyclists safe from cars. Why are these problems?

When, as an article editor, you confuse "design" for "architecture".

Lot of whining about practical choices here, stuff like fake grass/hard surfaces rather than grass might well be for elderly or disabled. Also stuff like a garage taking up a fair bit of your ground floor - what with exercise equipment, bikes and a workshop/tools I want more garage space not less especially if they can’t have a shed. Each to their own.

Most (like top: Plastic window in old church) are poor maintenance/ cheapskate caretakers. But title says "116 Architects" and URL says "planning-fails". Totally useless.
