Problem: dilapidated garage site & what to do about it & a need for housing for local people? Oh - let's add vested money interests & outside organizations who think they know best? Then don't forget mumbo-jumbo about gods & sacred sites & the curse of religion, & graft & corruption in the planning process....is that it? Crumbs - Are druids involved in this melange somehow?
Let's face it - the creeps with the money will get their way as they always do. Houses to replace the tawdry garage may not be the best solution but if the families living in these houses will help to rejuvenate Avebury, then OK I'd say. The most important condition should be: build but PLEASE make sure they're designed in such a way as to blend with the predominant architectural style of the village. As long as they don't don't resemble the styles at that god-awful Poundbury I think this is the best that can expected. Avebury might have been an ancient 'sacred site' (who can tell?) but this is the 21st century & a village where modern people live.
