Opinions please on a planning thing, in England.
I met a likeable entrepreneur* today, and disappointed him. Am I now a stupid Nimby?
The thing is about change of use for a field on the edge of a village in the Lake District.
Changing use from amenity woodland (aka forestry) to doggy day care (aka business) with a new building. I see that as a slippery slope to other development. Am I wrong??

Kilimanjaro has lost 75 percent of its natural plant species over the last century

A new study suggests that, between 1911 and 2022, land-use change was the primary direct cause of the loss of 75% of natural plant species on the lower slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. Andreas Hemp of the University of Bayreuth, Germany, and colleagues present these findings in the open-access journal PLOS One on October 29, 2025.
