There are two ways of looking at number two. A conservation society can either get vocal and oppose a plan, knowing that it will go ahead come what may

Or

you can become part of the machine and at least garrentee that something pretty and good will eventually be made of the site.

I'm not saying I agree with siding with them, but I can understand why they might do so.

From the part of the other interested parties, well, they are just keeping their enemies close - as recommended by all good quoters.

I'm not sure that these chaps are that sort of conservation society.

A year ago, one of the friends of thornborough asked for a meeting to talk about the archaeology of the area. THey refused to acknowelde that these was anything else other than the henges, and got v angry when he suggested that a significant part of their agenda chould be to conserve the environment surrounding the henges that's been there for 5,000 years.

Next day one of the councillors rang up and informed Friends that LUCT did not want any further communications.

LUCT do not have a single conservation body affiliated to them. But they do get a lot of their funding from Tarmac, LaFarge, Yorwaste, etc. etc. At one point does keeping the enemies close cross over to sleeping with them/being them all along.
