If you're of a certain age... let's say 47... you'll remember going to the pictures to see a cartoon called 'Watership Down', based on a bank called Richard Adams. It came out in 1978 and triggered mass-weeping... It featured the story of a group of rabbits escaping the destruction of their warren.
Richard Adams is amongst those leading a campaign to prevent thousands of homes from being built on Sandleford Warren, which was the real life inspiration for the book.
Story is featured in this Daily Mail article.
This could feed in to a context for exploring a number of issues:
- countryside management
- urban-rural inter-relationships
- planning and the localism bill
- greenfield and brownfield developments, and green-belt
- affordable housing
