Open it to individuals and groups to submit designs and ideas.I agree theres a dire need to stop the adfarm eyesore as the single biggest improvement to mainland asap I have no doubt that the selected builders are top notch but I think you should have allowed more participation and submissions from the general populace maybe using the 10 as judges and consultants and allow nominations for more sites to be overhauled if successful.

If it is the final completion of the road network, so we don't get all these sudden dead ends or mud tracks, then count me in :) Most of the land does not belong in the middle ages of cart tracks (although some areas would benefit from just that).

Those uncaring opportunists who buy small plots of 512m or less then cut them up to 16m blocks and sell them off to ad-farmers should also be brought to task. My solution? A 'development application' notice should be sent to all other residents in the region explaining why such small blocks are being sold off, and a 28-day period to allow objections from the local residents. Sensible objections would disallow the sale. After all, its the residents left behind who have to live with ad-farm eyesores! And I LOVE the idea put forward by Gospatrick @118. I'm planning a canal linking lands I own in 3 adjoining regions and would love to be able to link them up with other regions who want to join me!
