Architect Peter Beard strongly believes that such sites should be approached with a greater awareness of their past, both historically and politically.

He says: “Issues of history and memory and a sense of what places are within a collective memory, whether national or local, are very important in considering how one deals with these places. The average business park planner is not necessarily concerned with such things.”

If he can show such concern for a business park why hasn't he got the same attitude towards our Coppice?
