All across the country, developments are grinding to a halt
Bournemouth Echo: Housing plan for Talbot Village brought to halt
Legal challenges surround Talbot Village Trust’s proposal for 450 student units and 378 new homes on farmland off Wallisdown Road. Bournemouth council, Natural England and Conor Burns, MP for Bournemouth West, have all requested Secretary of State Eric Pickles to call in the application and several others, including Dorset Wildlife Trust and the RSPB, have made representations. “If this plan goes through it’s a coach and horses through all our other areas,” said Cllr Ron Whittaker. Objectors concerns range from traffic and the impact on the local environment to damage to heathland and concerns for wildlife.

But mostly just damage to property values.

Why these people never thought of moving into the jungle escapes me.

What Paul says.
These NIMBYs are total psychopaths. I appreciate wildlife as much as the next man, but what if my children were keen to live in one of those new houses? Would I say, sorry kids, butterflies are more important than you, try moving abroad?

You never ever hear the opposite argument:
"I'm sorry, you have to move. We're demolishing all these ugly houses to create a haven for wildlife."
