In other words, once granted, planning permission means that unless
there is a civil revolution and radical change of government there
will
be planning permission for there to be a building there forever.

Only if you start work on building that building within the time stated
on
the planning permission.

Quite.

I was just musing on something that struck me some time ago about
our responsibilies to our grandchildren's grandchildren.

Too often we have to look for the short, quick fix. And sometimes we
just make unecessary problems for others.

Nothing new in that. The person who in early 18xx thought it would be a
good idea to extend the local abatoir into a full house without putting in
proper foundations was obviously NOT thinking of my wellbeing at the time
:-)
