It basically says they have found no evidence of otters (a protected species) but there could be because there is features such as a river or lake on the site... Do these people get paid for this 'advice'?? I could have told them there is a river on the site which COULD contain anything save them the bother of 'investigating' any further... Box (iv) – We looked at the survey report and determined that Yes, it did highlight that there are suitable features on the application site for otters such as rivers, lakes etc. This took us to Box (vi). I suppose in the end this is good news??

Malicious fabrication, in order to derail the development.
Probably from the water voles!!!

I can confirm that there was a water otter discovered on the Newmarket site, it was an old kettle left by travellers

Don't get too excited - there's still the Unicorns to deal with.

I swear I saw Bigalf down there at the weekend but I think he has got it a bit wrong


He was fly tipping a load of cricket BATS! Not sure he understands this "protected species" lark very well.

i think, since i built (without planning permission obviously) the unicorn hunting lodge at the back of moorhouse, there numbers have significantly dwindled.
Just down to a couple of the older, less tasty and more mangey ones!!!!
