Title: Stop Watership Down Development
Post by: Smalltime on March 20, 2012, 12:43:42 pm

Done :thumbsup:

Sorry, this is the Tories at their best - why would anyone be surprised at this  >:(

If they go ahead with changes to the planning laws in England, expect far more of this and it will be almost impossible to stop. The developers will be calling the shots.

Exactly. There are plenty of these close by in this instance, it is just more expensive to clear them before building.

It really is a beautiful place at the moment as well. Disgraceful.
