A small mansion block sits harmoniously within a street of homes and terraces in Highgate. There’s no reason small, beautiful blocks like this one couldn’t sprout across suburban London, adding 10,000’s of much needed homes in a wave of the gentlest gentle density.

Encouraging to hear National Highways are openly stating they won't be starting with transport modelling for schemes, but instead using a 'Vision Led' approach

It is quite remarkable just how much townhouse development is going on in Houston. These are four storeys, about 3,000 sqft (so very generous family homes), and I suspect about $700k. Pleasingly, they have hidden all the parking in garages at the back.

Love this idea, giving those without the finances to afford a car easier ways of getting out to nature. And of course those who can't be arsed with the hassle of driving

This is a new apartment building in the Netherlands. It's really such a simple design and plainly detailed but I'd be so happy if this were the norm in England. Simple volumes with good windows, high quality brick, a touch of ornament and it even has underground parking.

So interesting to see this data come to life like this and compare areas across the UK by happiness, new housing and average travel time to work etc. Definitely worth a play... …lore-local-statistics.beta.ons.gov.uk

Good news, Lee

I heard you like a bargain.

This weekend has been so windy and sunny that on Octopus Energy's Agile tariff we'd have PAID YOU to charge those batteries
