What a view!- a Belle Vue in fact. 8.15 on Wednesday night
18th July. The sunset might be good too; not that you’ll see that if
the building opposite goes up. I can’t put a price on the view. I can’t equate
it to local jobs gained or an economic rise in the area as Macarthy and Stone
will on the glossy presentation that they will show off to the planning committee
in September.
It’s about quality of
life- and I don’t just mean for me living here, but for all the people who walk
this way to and from town looking over the valley and trees beyond who won’t
have been consulted, who won’t know anything about the proposed ‘development’ ,
in fact, until it takes that little something extra off their journey.
In the next blog post, I’ll write about how the revised plan
shaves a barely perceptible amount off the light/ view blocker that they want
to build on the other side of the road. But not now.
