The developers should lean into it, name some of the roads cockburn avenue, plum lane, etc.

It looks like this is just the shape of the landscape there. Without the outline and identical map colors, you wouldnt even see it. Weird people caring about weird things.

The "base" looks like it has been slammed in a drawer a few times.

Perhaps the developers are just bored and seeing what they can get away with. There's a smiley face in Milton Keynes and Wales even has a Millennium Falcon!

Pareidolia gone wild!

That's impressive! :) You wouldn't happen to know anything about the Milton Keynes one would you? I've been searching and couldn't find any links, but would love to go and visit it! :)

Oh nice!! Thank you so much!

That's quite close by, and a visit is in order! :)

Do the local residents not understand that supply follows demand? Resources are like pharmacists in doctors will likely become easier to access with more people living locally.

Housing prices are too high! We need more houses to bring down prices!

Why are they building more houses? Now more people are going to live here!

NIMBYs' excuses are becoming more and more elaborate.

Look, if it weren't such a vagina shaped piece of land we wouldn't have to fill it with a penis shaped estate. Really it's all the local council's fault for their past decisions leaving us in this predicament.

Jesus christ, Britons are a bunch of busybodies.
