I’ve come to the conclusion that BMTH can’t open their set with YOUtopia. It would be a right damp squib of an opener. -

but I also just got this email from Cheshire wildlife trust... Last month we told you of our efforts to protect Longridge, a Local Wildlife Site on the outskirts of Knutsford. Earlier this week we were devastated to learn that the housing development of 225 properties has been greenlit. This is despite it originally being rejected by the Local Planning Authority as inappropriate development in the greenbelt and as having unacceptable impacts on ecology. Longridge Local Wildlife Site which lies on the outskirts of Knutsford and is a mosaic of oak woodland, wildflower grassland, scrub and ponds. It is a haven for wildlife with flocks of redwing, fieldfare and finches in the winter months and numerous red and amber listed breeding birds in summer including song thrush and willow warbler. Remarkably there are also three species of newt, which is extremely unusual for Cheshire. At a recent planning inquiry following an appeal against the initial rejection, Dr Rachel Giles, Evidence and Planning Programme Manager at Cheshire Wildlife Trust, gave evidence to defend the site. Several local residents also gave moving evidence on the importance of the site to the people of Longridge, including representatives from local groups Save Longridge Greenbelt and Knutsford Residents in Over Ward. Over the course of the two-week inquiry, the planning Inspector was presented with evidence for and against the housing development and subsequently decided in favour of it going ahead. think we're going to start seeing those pesky tree hugger swampy types doing their thing over the next few years. -
