If it's "statuatory" it is almost impossible to get development permission ATM thankfully..  :)

TB - never thought I'd put these words in the same sentence but it sounds like your "Norfolk council are enlightened"!!

I thought the article was interesting as some sites here in Hastings are now protected, others not, and 1 self managed (on a lease). So a right mixed bag!

I didn't see that, thanks, 1066. The article says BOS field  ???, do you think they mean Pauls Field? (My site).

I don't know Pigeonseed! I get confused with the names and locations  ::). Plus the Observer isn't always known for it's accuracy!
Maybe there are some minutes from the meeting that are online?
