“The final version of the Addendum, there was nothing I could usefully add to what is really a very good piece of work: it makes the very most of a difficult situation, is concise and compelling reading, and is, I think, the best that can be done. Thus, unless you would like me to write an Opinion to confirm their approach is correct, I do not think there is anything I can sensibly add.“ - Solicitor regarding a scheme for four dwellings (Rother)
