Planning application withdrawn.

A very sad end to this really ........I knew the application had been withdrawn but I did not know the applicant (Adam Besterman) had died.
May he rest in peace.

In some ways i am actually quite shocked by this turn of events.
Is this an example of the fate that befalls people who mess with ancient sites?

An unfortunate coincidence ... to believe anything else is giving into superstition.

Oopsy! I thought I'd stopped this from posting in time! It was an unnecessary post (see? I *do* self-regulate! :D You should see the amount of times I' ve written massive posts then deleted them at the last moment!) ;)

What I said was: Yes, it is very sad, but it will inevitably become part of the folklore of the place now - I'd not considered that! You can certainly see how these stories start...
