Special character?
It's nothing special and nor is the half brick half plaster? Cement? Next to it.

It looks as nice lilac as it did cream.

Yes me too, it’s not too much different than the cream colour in2014

Weird considering number of styles and periods on that street.
If anything, I would try to do something about the pebble dash on other houses😂 now THAT is an eyesore

It’s just a house painted a completely normal colour. I live in a conservation area and my house is green, next door is pink. How is this news and why on earth does the council care about it?

It's a much more attractive house than either of its neighbours! I prefer the lilac to the cream but both are fine.

Looks fine to me and a fairly standard house and not that unusual a colour. Its not like the surrounding houses are exactly beautiful either.

Much nicer than the cream. I bet he has a nosey neighbour who has complained because they need to get a life.

Looks lovely

It's in bloody Watford.
And judging from the houses on either side of it, the Oxhey Village Environment Group is not dealing with particularly special architecture

It’s council bureaucracy at its finest….

It's a 1902 house not an original Tudor. I think they're being ridiculously uptight, it looks lovely and neat.

Smashing

Yes, agree! The houses either side don't look like they have 'special character'. It seems a bit officious to reject the lilac. No problem with the previous cream, but the lilac is hardly offensive.

It's such a subdued lilac. I don't get the fuss at all. It's lovely and understated.
Watford is such a shithole. It could do with some colour.

Just saw the expanded photo with the other houses. Christ! The POS to the right of the lilac house... why isn't anyone complaining about that turdpile? It looks like a full litterbox. And that's me being nice.

If you showed me the colour and said you were going to use it to paint your entire exterior, I'd have baulked at the suggestion.

But it actually looks really smart! Much better than the cream look it previously was.

I love it.

I FAR prefer the cream & I think the council are right trying to protect the look of the local area. The lilac is bloody awful.

That looks lovely. I wish our house was painted.

I much prefer the lilac to the drab beige it was before.

I absolutely love it. BTW, Does anyone know what that street with the multi coloured houses in Bristol is called?

I agree, so much nicer than the awful cream.

I hate it because I hate lilac/purple, but I think it's a bit precious of the council. I like to see a bit of individuality on the streets.

I think the lilac is a big improvement tbh
