The increasing need for new housing, and the desire for new housing within this prestigious estate, led to the substantial loss of gardens and the construction of a large number of infill properties between 1960-80. Their insensitive siting, inappropriate scale and the dearth of architectural merit has led, many would argue, to adverse results upon the character of this unique estate. Here a block of flats can be seen at the intersection of the Tunnel Road with Cavendish Road North. Two minutes walk further down this hill is "The Bowl", the recreational area housing several tennis clubs and a bowling club.
