Incidentally, one sentence in the Bath article stood out for me: "Enthusiasts for the scheme attack those who would keep Bath as "a city in aspic"". Aspic's impossible of course, but I don't like people who are trying to make hundreds of millions of pounds out of developments being contemptuous of conservation, as if it's somehow a bad thing.
I will be surprised if The Lake District isn't given WH status. I agree with you about developers - being a lone voice recently against a developer who wants to put a car park on an ancient, historic (prehistoric even) hilltop place in my town. All gone quiet at the moment but if and when it rears up again I may be asking for support from the Heritage Journal/Action group - who I respect greatly. For the record.
