If you agree with that viewpoint, then it is not unreasonable to ask how much value (or otherwise) this or that has to both us and to future generations. Value can then be compared against the options to see which option (for development) generates the most benefit.


That doesn't work with heritage for under it it might not be worth wrecking the setting of Oswestry Hillfort to build 50 houses but it might be more so to build 250, which is clearly not sensible for the fate of the heritage would depend not on its own merits and value but the size of the proposed development. Salop Council might well want to apply such cost benefit analysis but the country is more civilised than that, surely?
