Permission Granted

We have it! Permission has been granted, the all important document is now in our hands. The only slightly strange thing is the attached condition that the trench for the cable from the turbine to the farm buildings must be completed before the end of March, and either be opened and closed in the same day, or covered at night. The reason for this; to stop all those poor migrating newts from falling into the trench. This has to be a good thing, and if I was a newt, I would be particularly glad. And I am glad actually that the planning authority does consider such things. But what if we wanted to plough a field and sow a crop? Would we have to put up signs to warn the newts of impending road-works, with perhaps a suggested diversion? I am being facetious of course, but you know what I’m saying!
