Good old Ed, always ready to search avidly for a negative in a good news story! Read the article I posted, but to save you the trouble, note that Gove refused permission partly because it would “fail to support the transition to a low carbon future, and would overall fail to encourage the reuse of existing resources, including the conversion of existing buildings”.Similarly, "Henrietta Billings, the director of the charity SAVE Britain’s Heritage, which has campaigned against M&S’s plan, said: 'This is a hugely important decision that rightly challenges the way we continually and needlessly knock down and rebuild important buildings across our towns and cities. Repurposing and converting buildings we cherish and saving thousands of tonnes of CO2 in the process is a no brainer. This is a massive positive step and we salute the secretary of state'."
