My concern is a simple one- I feel that the conditions laid down by Councils may be determined under pressure from corporate lobbyists and as a result, our very identity becomes a secondary consideration.Can we integrate the finite resource within new builds? Lay glass floors where archaeology is found beneath schools and public buildings? Developers could be compensated or given "perks" if they are seen to uphold the concept of (partial) preservation in situ whereby making an educational/cultural contribution to the nations identity. Why does "pollution" as Dr Wardle put it have to result in total destruction?
