In Utah where he lived he told me that 'developers money' talked loud in the palnning departments where no regard is held for the environment, one minute there is a mountain the next it has been levelled and a shopping mall built. Maybe this is not quite the scenario set for this country but under Cllr. Melton's vision for the future I can envisage a situation where developers and not elected members control planning matters!
Uhh...I hate to rain on your momentum, but Utah is a bit of a rogue state, and really shouldn't be used as an example for enlightening our British cousins. The majority of the states in the US have very stringent environmental and heritage protection legislation. :face-approve:

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
