i agree with the two comments previously made. It may also be the fact that the customer came across as being rather aggressive in his demeanor towards Mr Hoblyn. As an apparent professional designer he should have taken a firm stance in planning and constructing the design. From watching the program it is is clear that the design itself did not fit this properyt or customer type in question. Hopefully he would have learnt from this experience

I agree re the setting out. But why have an avenue here? To me it seemed an odd addition to a Victorian vicarage. I doubt if it is for parades and wonder if the owner envisages placing a statue of himself at the end of the avenue at a later date. Visitors could be taken to admire his younger, slimmer self.

I think Tom Hoblyn made himself look pretty silly when explaining why he had carried out no formal setting out of the pleached hornbean avenue. He explainined that the there were no straight lines on the building to go off and that he would just eye it up. Completely idiotic and very amateur in my opinion, subsequently resulting in the contractor being blamed for the mistakes of an un-professional designer.
