Grunff ) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were
saying :

If he didn't like the rules, he shouldn't have bought the house, and
left it for somebody that does appreciate a conservation area.

While I agree with that sentiment to some degree, reporting someone for
breaking the rules in a way that really doesn't affect you in any way is
just not on.

But it _does_.

Conservation area rules are in place to protect the appearance and
character of an area from inappropriate development. That inappropriate
development affects the whole area.

If you don't like the restrictions, don't buy in a conservation area. It
really is that simple. If you do, then you should expect to be pulled up if
you breach those rules.
