Oh dear, already deamonised but for aesthetic reason not clean air quality. We have a landowner who gets away with blue murder when it comes to planning and regulations, does what he wants and gets away with it. We are in an AONB and I sit in many meetings where all sorts of impacts on the AONB are discussed, the biggest impact visually and tranquility wise will be HS2, the amount of time and money that's been spent on consultants and experts trying to divert or propose alternative ways to lessen the impact on the area is frightening and sadly I suspect all to no avail. Also at these meeting I hear Natural England proposing means to manage the heathland, cattle be allowed to graze which involves a vast fencing project and cattle, perhaps these cattle don't fart, bracken burning and spraying chemicals from aeroplanes. Natural England is a government department, how do these proposals help our carbon footprint? Mixed up thinking surely, what they are proposing is against all that environmentalists are proposing. But I am just a member of Joe Public so what do I know?
Edit Sorry I will climb down off my soap box now before someone throws rotten eggs at me.
