Disturbingly creepy

27 September 2007

 

I noticed when moving to work in Nottinghamshire some 3 years ago, how much the countryside and it’s villages had changed since my childhood.

This is obviously nothing astounding, but I felt saddened by the way new houses had been shoe-horned into plots where they really shouldn’t have – ruining the curtilage of the original, and glaringly out-of-place developments had sprung up on their peripheries.

Now with the CPRE’s campaign highlighting the probable effects of the Government’s fast-track planning proposals, I’ve been delving around the disturbance maps produced and the Planning Disaster coalition’s site and it is plainly not a view back through ‘rose-tinted’ spectacles.

The pressure on this land of ours steadily grows, as we observe that Compulsory Set-Aside is scrapped because of the shortage of cereals grown.
