Lingerie moved to 5th floor I heard some Irish priests got stuck there once and that’s why they moved it in the first place

Heading to the ground on Saturday, we stopped to make a fuss of a dog being walked by the rezzers, as you do. On hearing that we were County fans, the dog's lady owner told us about the club wanting to build on the "Site of Special Scientific Interest" as part of the expansion plans. I didn't feel qualified to dispute this with her at the time but am I right in saying that it has no such official status? If residents are being fed misinformation like this, it's no wonder they're up in arms.

Just done a quick Google because I've never heard that phrase before and there are over 4000 of them in the UK, the below comes up on one search.
Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) are those areas of land and water that we consider best represent our natural heritage in terms of their:
flora – i.e. plants fauna – i.e. animals geology – i.e. rocks geomorphology – i.e. landforms a mixture of these natural features

Plus ça change…

Notice anything about the location of SSSIs and the urban area? ![](//storage.proboards.com/5458784/thumbnailer/rlBCvzXSjuCoHYhJqpVD.png)

Plus ça change… Suppose it is of interest for the single person in the area whose main interest in life is bleach works and their remains.

One main change that requires consideration is that Biodiversity Net Gain is now mandatory. So rather than just measurable gains for biodiversity, it is now a legal requirement for developments to deliver at least 10% BNG. On this basis, a BNG assessment will be required as part of a future planning application.
The club has to be sympathetic to the area and offset its habitat impact... that's it in a nutshell

Plus ça change… Suppose it is of interest for the single person in the area whose main interest in life is bleach works and their remains. Also of interest to the various people in the area whose main interest in life is the effect of marginally increased footfall, traffic, and noise pollution on their property prices And let's take a moment to admire just how committed these people are - like, so committed that they moved into the affected area! Now that's action research!
