Perfection may exist after all
When I first read about government plans to extend the 10 national parks in the UK, I worried the move would restrict the few areas left for sensible new development even more. However, I can see the benefit of extending protection for these jewels of the countryside.
Only around 8% of the UK is actually built on, so it’s going to make very little difference if these plans become a reality. Rather than fret about expanding national parks, I’d be far happier if more unloved and unlovely plots were liberated for self builders to create homes.
