I'm all in favour of it when it keeps some architectural unity to the village or the region. Australia lacks that completely and the architectural mix, although sometimes interesting, is often a disaster...

I generally like the tried and tested look of the old style, but here in Nelson, we have ALL kinds (and the old not being too terribly old, either.) You give me inspiration about the kind of photos I could take for our blog. By the way, I wonder if any of us got hits as a result of your posting about the photo blogs on the public notice board. Have you heard from anyone??? Locely! I generally like the tried and tested look of the old style, but here in Nelson, we have ALL kinds (and the old not being too terribly old, either.)
