Yes, and those tatty old stones and banks and ditches are an eyesore too, when we could build a nice Waitrose there instead, much smarter.


Here's another spookily similar case - http://www.thisisgloucestershi[...]cle-615519-detail/article.html

The issue is very simple and very important. If a place is nationally important, who should decide on how it is curated - the heritage protection system & professionals or the local parish councillors? No contest so far as I'm concerned, the clue's in the word, nationally.

And if the place is internationally important then having the parish and district councils deciding it's fate is just grotesque.
