Howse Gardens, Swindon (2)
One of a few shots of this pleasant new housing development. These polytunnels aren't quite on the same scale as those to be found in parts of Herefordshire and the like but they do provide a relatively low-tech and low cost way of growing things such as tomatoes.

The Triangle off Northern Road, Swindon
Television's Grand Design host Kevin McCloud designed the Triangle. The development is built around a ‘village green’, where children are encouraged to play. The Triangle’s open spaces are designed to soak up rainwater and so reduce the risk of flooding.

Howse Gardens, Swindon (4)
One of a few shots of this pleasant new housing development. Unusual features to note in this image are the galvanised metal walls to the porches and the gabion walls marking the boundaries of the front courtyards. These are more often seen in an industrial setting but their use here is quite imaginative. They have the advantage over more traditional garden walls of both being more sturdy and more flexible. They probably provide habitats for all sorts of creatures. The process of individualising properties has already begun.
