What do you think my chances are?

Two chances really: slim and none.

I certainly hope you are correct on that!


Why? What is wrong with demolishing ugly farm buildings and building a
state-of-the-art eco house? The whole country should be spattered with

eco
house.


I agree. I just don't think they need to quite so high-spec as your
ideal type to be valuable to the environment as well as being nice to
live in.


The spec was not high. It was a superinsulated house (a normal house with
high insulation levels) and a solar roof, and a large water store. Not
rocket science.
