so there is no limit to the amount of countryside and woodland developers should be allowed to level and build on? As long as they've got finance to purchase the land any amount of concrete and houses is OK?

My stepdad from Brighton - he said when he was a kid the drive from Porstmouth to Brighton was through loads of countryside, nowadays all the villages and towns are joined up all along the coast road. No matter who has the cash to buy, land is a finite resource. Just because people know how to make money with sand and cement, doesn't mean they are not scumbags.

you want to keep it as is go buy it.

Maybe, just maybe, we should stop importing third world trash and undesireables, and stop subsidising our own undesireables to breed. Then, we wouldn't need to concrete over the countryside to house them all.

 

Just a thought.

Planning departments take a dim view of pre-emptive felling now so not much has been gained. That's before the FC start getting interested about felling licences and start considering such things as restocking orders if it's decided the work was done illegally.

Damn, that’s another little clearing job I’ve missed out on.

Never mind OWC, maybe you can try for the replanting once the FC get finished with em.

That is the joy of West Wales. No developers would ever build a huge site in the country side here since there aren't enough people to even keep the normal property market afloat

hmm give it time.

Replanting means you just put a hedge round the edges.
