A Plot on the Landscape

Probably not, but I couldn’t help rolling my eyes and cursing (once more) the “evil developers” when reading this article from the BBC website.

Apparently said evil doers are buying up properties with large gardens or on large plots of land (that’ll be us then), and destroying them by building flats, mini-estates, and all kinds of other monstrosities that are killing the neighbourhoods and ruining the living environment.

As much as I dislike this sort of behaviour, and I really like living here in the wilderness (at least until Milton Keynes comes along and swallows us whole one day), I do wonder if we should give the developers a call and find how they do this!  Doesn’t it just seem so stupid this can go on, when we’re struggling so hard to hatch our tiny little plan.  We don’t even want to chop down the trees here, we LIKE the trees around here!   Hell, we may even plant some more in the process of getting rid of the ugly tarmac.

Not that any of this matters in planning law.  Blinkered as it is.
