A few years ago a development of nearly 1,000 houses was proposed on the edge of the charming little market town of Louth. The headline in the local paper was "The Death Star landeth". There was a strong reaction among residents and the local council threw the scheme out. However the building fraternity has been more than vindicated by the number of schemes which have since been approved, and the rape of the countryside continues apace. See also Image
