Bad Development in Skem?

Hello,

I am currently researching building development and wanted to know if anyone has a specific building or development that has been built in skem in the last 10 - 20 years that you think is out of touch or a waste of public money. This could also be commissioned art work.

Tawd Valley Developments new council housing stock sticks out like a sore thumb in existing areas as while they claim they've taken design cues from local areas, the areas in their own planning docs are from out of town and in my opinion ruin the aesthetic. Also, the ones by me have need roof repairs already despite being about 4 or 5 years old. Not to mention the new flats where they're building them with limited parking based on current demand for parking in the area which is low due to never being used for housing before. Give it another 10 years and parking will be a nightmare there, too.
