Challenge 317: Redevelopment

A view over the Suffolk town of Mildenhall, showing a harmonious arrangement of rooftops.

Now imagine you're a property developer looking at that apparently wasted space in the middle. You have an unlimited budget, a disregard for aesthetics and are immune to public outcry.

What might you be tempted to build here?

High res is here.

As always, when it comes to perspective, I'm having trouble. I'm looking forward to hearing what is wrong.

I assumed the wasted space being referred to is the green belt in the upper right of the image (?)

The developer penned a lucrative contract with the government for a remote missile test launch site. So much for peace and quiet!

Hello,

In winter, the swimming pool could be a hockey playground. Be careful not to go too far.

Bonne semaine

I think there is a gap in the soft toy market for "freak of nature" pets such as your three-faced dog.

I started a similar edit to put a motorway through it but, just like last week, I couldn't find the time to get a competent attempt never mind one as good as above.

What with the government's reinstatement of the much hated window tax and the new surf complex it's been a bad week for the residents of Mildenhall.

Thanks Vibeke and Scoobyclub.

I know the body text is a bit surreal but hopefully it's better than what The Sun would normally publish!

WOW, some really brilliant entries, I like all of them. Unfortunately I am too busy to join in this week, another time maybe. But, if I had, my idea would of been to bulldoze the lot and plant a forest, permanently off limits to Humans.
