It seems as if your government has failed on this one. If the site was such an important one, perhaps it should have been purchased and preserved. It's not just a buiding but also a battlefield. When they stopped it in 2008, surely they must have known the developer was going to try again. An undeveloped piece of land to a developer is lost money and that's all they care about. Good luck with your cause.

Wow dedalos, I don't really know what to say to that.  If it was a regular homeowner I guess that would be one thing but to let some developer come in without care to what that place means is another.  But anyway, if you don't agree don't send the e-mail.  Otherwise, why grief someone who feels that the history of that place means something?  I can't do much since I live in the states, by the way, where do you live?  If it's in the states, you really have no business even making such a statement.

Done in the most elegant prose I could come up with.  I even took off the big rubber nose and floppy shoes for this one.  <S>

Norm, unfortunatly Government funding is unavailable as it is in Belgium. I am in the UK and I have no idea what the Belgians feelings on Historical sites are. If it was in the UK then I have no doubt it would be under the Heritage's funding. However as I said this is not the case.
