Upton Conclusion

Developers and their practices experience a lot of legislative presence throughout their jobs. Whether they're simple but mandatory planning permissions or more complex negotiation demanding jobs concerned with conservation areas.

Upton creates opportunities for further development, it can lead the way for Northampton expansion into the east side. The first expression I get from driving into the development is the diverse style of architecture and its impact on the environment. In a way the architecture there reflects the environment, organic forms tend to be diverse but still relate to each other and in my opinion that's what Upton accomplishes. As displayed on the right, there is a lot of vegetation. The community is not just a concrete block but a mixture of both; nature and housing. Both may seem contradicting but when done right together they can reduce climate change. Passive solar design and vegetation is important. On the other side there is a construction site on the right as you enter Upton c

ommunity. In my opinion the commercial properties that will be there ruin the first impression of the site when you enter it. Although the community did not make an impact nationwide, I am sure that there are more developments like Upton which focus on the environment as much as providing efficient spaces for living. I'd be happy to see more of those developments being build around the UK as they finally add some progress to the current expired architecture from the Victorian times. By replacing the typical brick and render with timber cladding and glazing we are already making the first step towards better up to date designs that are not just repeated in exact same style around the UK. Diversity is good as long as it meets the legislative guidance, after all we are on earth for a very short period of time and our focus at this day and age should be the future of the developments and future of our climate.
