Messing up natural beauty is one thing, and I think you make a fair point, but there's also messing up settings and that can't be so easily dismissed as something the builders wouldn't have cared about.
I absolutely agree. It might not necessarily be what you mean by setting but if somebody wanted to put a whacking great wind turbine in front of the Brightwell barrow so I couldn't see it from Castle Hill, i'd be extremely naffed off. In a different part of that area a wind turbine could look great, but, as I think youre saying, the clumps to brightwell is a particular setting that would be spoiled.
