Infill Development

I was saddened by the loss of a very productive area near me
It was the garden of a large detached house with mature trees,
pond, Thrush attracting lawns,with a bottom garden collection
of shrubs hedging and plants from its origins as countryside
Because it was someones garden no one gave its conservation
value a second thought
It has disappeared now and there are two bungalows in its place
with tubs and decking
This is a get rich quick "`previously developed land scheme" from
this government of wildlife and countryside haters
Now local councils can sell parks public gardens and selfish people
can sell off their gardens for short term profit
