Oakham Pastures: New Housing Development with Fake Chimneys
A new housing development in Oakham, Rutland, has been met with criticism after it was revealed that the homes would feature fake chimneys. The development, called Oakham Pastures, is being built by Davidsons Homes and will consist of 84 new homes. The homes will be a mix of two, three, four, and five-bedroom houses.
The fake chimneys have been criticised by some residents, who say that they are an eyesore and do not fit in with the character of the area. Others have said that the fake chimneys are a waste of money and that the developers should have spent the money on something else, such as better quality materials or more green space.
Davidsons Homes has defended the decision to include fake chimneys in the development. The company says that the fake chimneys are there to add character to the homes and that they are in keeping with the traditional architecture of the area. The company also says that the fake chimneys are not a waste of money and that they add value to the homes.
The development of Oakham Pastures is due to be completed in 2024. It remains to be seen whether the fake chimneys will be a popular addition to the area.
