Absolutely brilliant from John Gleeson. So this is nothing to do with the fact that your house would overlook the nursery? You are therefore concerned about your house price and fear that a nursery could affect the it's value/ability to sell? It would seem perfectly legitimate concerns, other people would probably do the same. However you seem like a clever chap and if you think about it logically you have two options: 1. Kick up a fuss like you are doing, get the application blocked, the trust goes bust, the land goes farrow. Result: The value of your house probably falls & ability to sell is reduced. The land will be unsightly and who knows who it will attract. You would get a nice view of a wilderness. If you're lucky you may even get some travellers 2. Let the application go through. The ground becomes sustainable, kids & adults carry on playing sport and won't get fat. Your house increases it's value and you can retire very happily. So do us all a favour and stop with this 'MOL' nonsense or protection of a willow tree which wouldn't even be affected and even if is what is more important 10,000's of people using the playing fields or a willow tree? As mentioned I'm not judging your nimbyism reaction, just asking that you think logically about it.
