Hoskins fleshes out Trump masterplan
March 3 2010
They show a crescent of traditionally styled white washed homes fronting parkland at the heart of a planned residential estate of 500 homes and hint at the massing of a dominant hotel tower.
Detailed environmental, landscaping, infrastructure and construction information is contained in the plans and will be assessed by Aberdeenshire Council planners in conjunction with statutory bodies.
The move is required under law in advance of a full planning application being submitted, a landmark which is still at least three months away.
A public exhibition showcasing the plans will be held at the Udny Arms Hotel in Newburgh on March 12-13.
An iconic hotel will punctuate the predominant four storey datum

If you did not notice, there is a major world recession and the UK can no longer afford its social security bill. Who do you want to pay the planning objectorsd giros??Lower class sorts like "schemies" & "wegies".

Good. Now maybe you can piss off somewhere else Dave, where your 'wit and insight' and utter lack of point might be appreciated.

Hardly the most revealing images from Hoskins. Look remarkably like the sort of renderings I've seen Duany use.

That, Dave Anderson, is possibly because between your ears is wood. Until you have anything pertinent and informed to say, then try to resist clogging up the comments section with further juvenile nonsense.

'a crescent of traditionally styled white washed homes'
The local vernacular is 1 1/2 storey granite built farm houses.
Obviously written by someone who has visited the area as many times as trump himself.

The 20th century local vernacular of Balmedie and Newburgh is the dry-dash bungalow and executive villa with artificial stone dressings i.e. crap. Any argument against development can really only be on SSSI or CPO grounds as it seems likely that the quality of architecture Gareth Hoskins proposes will be superior to anything that bit of coast has seen in decades.

So it's slightly better than existing crap, so that's OK then? Looks like overdevelopment, informed by watching Brigadoon.

I am shocked by the poor, standard of lazy visualisation coming out of Hoskins these days.
They haven't even bothered to photoshop any tartan trousers on to the spectators in image 3.
