The outburst came during a fierce debate over plans to knock down six derelict Victorian houses in Birmingham to make way for a retirement village.

When the phrase "disband Conservation Group" appeared in the council's 2010 budget it sent a wave of fear through Birmingham's heritage groups. The saving of pounds 350,000 from a recession-hit planning department budget could not be worth more than the prospect of Birmingham giving up its control of historic buildings, they screamed.

More and more of Britain's football stadiums are being bulldozed amid a spate of redevelopment schemes and their tenants moved elsewhere - and Wrexham AFC could be next.

HOW far are the rules protecting our historic environment merely a matter of interpretation? Holly Place is one of Hampstead's unspoilt Georgian streets. As part of a conservation area, the road's terrace of cottages, built in 1816, are all Grade II listed. Yet residents claim this is no protection, as they fight one homeowner's plans for an extension they believe will damage the character of the area. Camden council has approved the plans, which also involve demolishing part of the listed building. Governments lay down planning guidelines for conservation areas and there are also regulations controlling alterations to listed buildings. Councils, too, produce detailed statements for each of their conservation areas, in consultation with local heritage groups. However, most say they also...

FOR more than 100 years, Glasgow's bowling greens, sports clubs and parks have given the city's people a chance to relax, play or just take a weekend stroll. Now concern is growing for these dear green places as more and more are lost forever. In some areas, especially the sought-after west end, a tenniscourt-sized piece of land can be worth up to [GBP]6m, which means vacant space is at a premium for any kind of development.

Wild Wood is an ultramodern country house clinging to the slopes of the Chiltern Hills on the edge of the Oxfordshire village of Chinnor. It is a perfect example of the avant-garde architecture the Government wants to see in the countryside, but it should have never been given planning permission. 'Planning officials at South Oxfordshire District Council were very impressed with our design, but said it didn't just drive a coach and horses through their planning policies, it drove ten double-decker buses through them,' says property developer Andrew Curry. He dramatically won the right to build the new house for his family on the site of a single-storey Twenties brick-and-flint cottage in 2003.
