The Downs

Whats happening on the lower Downs? Normally if you want to blow your nose or prune a rose bush you need planning permission. What's happening to all the top soil? Are they going to build a retaining wall? Who has actioned this with no consultation? - See more at: http://swanageview.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/new-subject.html#sthash.zDwp319J.dpuf

The Council is re-profiling the ground to try to stop the land slipping over the parking spaces. For some strange legal reason, the Council doesn't have to get approval to do work on land it owns.

They seem to be getting very close to the trees. Would not a retaining wall as mentioned be the better solution?
Some people may argue that the loss of a few car spaces would not be a bad thing.

What do you mean For some strange legal reason, the Council doesn't have to get approval to do work on land it owns.

They'd be asking themselves for permission.

No. You may own land, but you need approval from Purbeck District Council to build or develop on it...
