[John Boshier]

They may be unpleasant, but they do seem to be open to discussing One 
Planet Developments in Wales, See 
http://www.woodlands.co.uk/blog/woodland-economics/one-planet-development-in-wales-a-policy-for-low-impact-sustainable-livin/ 
. I think the wording has changed a bit, as when I looked on their site 
recently I think they said they would not object to it, and I've heard 
this from another source.

If anyone knows more I would like to know. I'm going to be producing a 
One Planet Development newsletter, and am organising meetings to help 
people get started on low-impact development in Wales. You can sign up 
to the newsletter at http://www.eco-hamlets.org.uk/newsletters.php , and 
I'd welcome any contributions to the newsletter.
