Rhiannon wrote: It's a real shame because rather boils down to someone's greed to make money out of sticking houses on it and selling them. Which many people will say is perfectly legitimate of course. But I prefer greenery and trees and there are surely loads of places that are already ruined that you can stick houses on. I had a read of the document about trying to have it registered as a village green, there were lots of people supporting it weren't there.
If it's really as boggy as you suggest perhaps they'll be put off by that, surely added work and money to sort out, who wants to live in a swamp with their foundations sinking. Or maybe you can find some rare newts or something...
You're right about the village green application - there was a strong undercurrent of local support, much more of it would have been public, evidently, but some felt they couldn't be upfront. The inspector's report was a travesty - rejecting the testimony of those with a strong emotional connection to the place while the cold logic of the economy can trundle on unchallenged... It might seem perverse (from the point of view of such a logic)but another prolonged monsoon and housing market crash might not go amiss in this situation (though our roof leaks, so I wouldn't be too enamoured of that!). Perhaps Kitty might have a trick up her sleeve...
