Hi guys,
Firstly wild man of the woods, totally agree, we have "manufactured" the landscape i.e Hedges, rivers, forests, beaches......And then we have the roads, rail, power lines, So what is a natural landscape? (Perhaps a worth while Discussion). Im actually doing a Brownfield vs Greenfield as part of this work I am looking at the land ear marked for developement (so again thank you Kayleigh for your info!) and land that is unused brownfield which could easily serve the intended purpose. Obviously London is full of unused "brownfield sites" but they are either heavily polluted and no-one wants to spend £££ to clean it up or some fat cat is sat on the land waiting for a pay day ££££.
Nicola B, Could you give me more information? Sound really interesting, I had heard of a river in N.Ireland that had been polluted by a company dumping concrete in it (v.clever

) so would be interested to hear more.
Thanks for the input, and as always I am intersted to hear your stories, regardless of what it may be, and however far away!
