This has bugged me for a while. Do Golf Courses or massive garden projects require more than a cursory planning permission? What of the potential archaeology uprooted and piled up to make nice embankments?
Not sure about planning permission but in Newport it's not particularly difficult, especially when it's the Celtic Manor and in particular that they've got the 2010 Ryder Cup. The courses they have now have taken over the landscape dramatically and they want to build more to stretch down towards Caerleon. I'm hoping that they won't be allowed as part of the hill they want to build a new course on is believed to be the resting place of bronze/iron age persons.Are the same restrictions applied to golf courses that they apply to Motorways?
I hate golf!
