Heth,

I didn't expect a reply but I did expect a responsible re-think after I pointed out to them that a previous government *dictat had ordered them to build 10,000 new homes within the next 10 years. I reminded them that the council could NOT find enough land to meet the target. I further reminded them that there was still a shortfall of land even after they had surreptitiously set planning permission in motion to build on Baxenden allotments and Huncoat football fields. In credit crunch times when people need a home with a garden to grow food would it be fair to use land which had the imprint of old houses and give planning permission for a very large building for the sole use of some local males and their out of town visitors.

*P.S. that government dictat was withdrawn near the end of that 10 year period.
