If the lady was still alive owning the land, would they be building houses on it? If the answer is no, which seems likely, given her wishes for the land never to be built on, then you have a situation where an individual is more effective at preserving countryside for the benefit of wildlife, than the RSPB.Have the RSPB ever sold land before for housing? If it is such a good idea, how come they missed out on such a good little earner during the property boom years. I would suggest it is because the RSPB of 30-40 years ago had birds and the creation of wildlife jewels as their goal.</blockquote>
