Shocked, apalled but not surprised, nothing it seems is safe from the developers these days...............................
The plans and reports are extensive it will take some time to get through all of them.
The developers must have spent a fortune in having these prepared...............small beer I suppose in the overall development..............but the future restoration plans whilst not omitted are clearly being brushed aside by them.
Having been involved in the restoration of Lock 1 and the basin along with many other volunteers I think I can speak for them all when I say I didn't give my time up for something like this to come along 15 years later.................
