Fenland District Council to relax archaeological planning regulations

[Tizzy]

WE NEED TO ENSURE A VIGOROUS COUNTER ATTACK ON THIS COUNCILLORS ILL ADVISED COMMENTS. He is connected with the construction industry and as such has a vested interest in seeing heritage protection reforms and adherence to PPS5 removed from the processes involved in planning applications at all levels. I urge you to do as I have and send an email to his personal & official email addresses and contact the newspaper concerned to express sensible opposition to this mans 'rantings'. If we allow this to go unchallenged then we will be complicit in the potential destruction of our already fragile industry. The IFA has issued a counter statement but from a personal point I do not believe this is sufficient to dampen the spirits of a man who quite clearly has thrown the gauntlet down. I heard from a source connected closely with to the government (about 4 weeks ago) that they were going to remove heritage protections in order to kick-start the economy; this could be a local councillor being used to set a precedent via the backdoor! Let it go and we could be kissing all our careers, not jobs, goodbye.
