Only if it's lucky, because the planners and architects think it would look pretty that way, not because "setting" has statutory protection. Even if somewhere is scheduled it's open to being Oswestrianised to buggery.

Indeed, and if it's the difference between squeezing another house in I suspect not.

Yeah, that's how I see it. A pushing contest between a few disorganised treehuggers and a lawyered-up bruiser with deep pockets who will get 150K quid extra for every additional unit he can squeeze in. Plus he went to school with half the cabinet! ;)

I can't remember when the good guys last won. Well Duddo, but not when real big money is involved.
