Not just down south but round Hyndburn, look at the apartment blocks now in Huncoat (new build), Ossy, and even the development near Church traffic lights.
The apartment block thing was a directive from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister. To build so many "housing units" on a certain area of land. This is why where there is a new build site, there is a mixture of Houses, detached, semi and apartment blocks.
The apartment blocks are no better than the tower blocks of the 60's
