Britain, UK news from The Times and The Sunday Times - Times Online:
"The Planning Inspectorate has no specific guidelines on fairies but a spokesman said: “Planning guidance states that local customs and beliefs must be taken into account when a developer applies for planning permission.” Mr Salter said: “We had to redesign the entire thing from scratch.”"
Marcus Salter, head of genesis Properties has had to renegotiate its building plans to save the fairies under a rock in St. Fillans , Perthshire. I am glad that the local council is sensitive to local customs and beliefs because there is probably a sound reason for the "superstitions". I am also relieved to discover that in Perthshire, at least, fairies are a protected species. We could well take heed as much of our land is imbued with significance and we blithely ignore it.
