Ta ML. I would suppose the issue in this case was that the 'setting' was too large to protect in the ways you describe. I doubt if either of us, let alone the whole archaeological community, could agree on what consitutes 'special', though I would venture that the 'specialness' of this buildings environment lay in the fact that it was practically isolated from Modern development (or so I recall the action groups soundbite). Regardless, cheers for the bits to chew over (I'm particularly interested in the protection of views, will do more reading).
