Ruination of our heritage

When the restaurant is complete and matured will be the time to decide if it is a success.

At least the local planning authority has had some control of these schemes.

All of this is nothing compared to the ruination of buildings, and the countryside that we are facing, with abandonment of good planning control over "small-scale" building work, and transfer of large-scale planning to the central Politburo.

Abandonment of real government in this country and the EC to a global market, and uncontrolled movement of population, may bring short-term wealth, but then what?

Very little development in the past generation has been supported by parish councils, or the people who lived here.

The countryside is becoming a theme park, rather than a National Park, and the ultimate irony would be the South Downs Way as little more than a pavement through wind farms.
