I just get the impression that our society is hell bent on the development of public open spaces. (and worse still nature reserves) and for what ... all in the interests of ching ching cashing in.  Where are we now, waiting to see what we can get away with, what can be built on the lawn, like there is a crack in the planning policy that protects it just waiting to be opened up and exploited.   The land designation that protects the Newhay (although a dog toilet) the Manor, the lawn, the playing fields, the warren coastal grass communities and dunes, all need strengthening 'cos believe it or not the world IS a better place with them.   What next, outside developers throwing cash incentives our way (ie Ashcombe solar farm) to relinquish what we should cherish.  

Heaven help our open spaces!

My opinion

The dunes kind of gets to me, I may be wrong but its a wild life kind of place for mainly birds or flying animals of some sort.

So these animals have the whole sky yet we have to give it up to them 200 apartments on the dunes would look nice IMO

I also hear that a planning application has gone in to concrete over Dartmoor and build luxury homes for immigrants, single parents and one-legged lesbians only.  I'm sure I read that in the Daily Mail. 

or the Daily Express perhaps?

@Mrs C - now that's a step in the right direction. I heard that you could also adopt a Dartmoor pony to go with your free luxury home. Will you be getting one of the homes?
