Environmental charity ClientEarth received nearly £1m worth of funding from the Department for International Development last year, and the hike to £232,000 now makes chief executive James Thornton one of the highest paid bosses in the voluntary sector. His salary is greater than that of the heads of RSPCA, Macmillan Cancer Support and the NSPCC, prompting fury from Former International ...

I recall someone suggesting the Lawn should be a store like Waitrose with parking on the roof ..that would bring people to the town and could be a saviour to the small shops...as parking would be free!.  Having said that I guess you cant build on the lawn becasue of sea level issues.
