It makes me so angry all this. A site not too far from me where lapwings and skylarks used to nest and golden plover used to winter has recently been obliterated. In the process, some lovely old 17th and 18th century farmhouses have also been swept away with total disregard for the area's local distinctiveness and heritage.
