Letting them take any water is the issue. The bottling company bought the property which was consented to use the water for a wool-scouring plant. Im assuming that after the water was used for the scouring process it was cleaned or filtered somehow and obviously some would have been lost in the process, but whatever was left over was returned to the bio-system to eventually and partially replenish the aquifer.Cant the Council block their sale of water by saying that that the bottling and exporting of the water is a change of use (similar to turning a residential property into a, for instance, doctors surgery) so they have to then apply for a totally new consent?

Totally agree SteveC, it looks like an industrial building.Im surprised theres no water feature, no greenery except for one pitiful tree, not even a generic even if stereotypical archway. The main entrance isnt particularly obvious.Its usually the case that artists impressions are much prettier than the actual buildings when completed - if these images are prettier than the real thing then it definitely wont be a neighbourhood treasure . . .

Its a great investment I reckon:1. For the owners, theyre investing in their own place rather than a landlords and will pay it off far faster than a normal size mortgage.2. Being a smaller mortgage, itll either be a smaller proportion of their income so theyve got money for other things3. When/if they want to sell, itll have increased in value so would sell for more than what it cost to build so the sellors would/shouild have a deposit for a bigger house if they wanted, or another tiny house and spare money in the bank.And as an interesting buy-product (see what I did there?!), because the tiny house is literally smaller, they wont be able to fit as much in so wont buy as much stuff they dont actually need at that point in time, eg a full size dining table and 6 chairs, so theyll save money on that side of things as well.

Is it odd that when we have less possession and territory we blow the opposition away on their turnovers, but when we have more possession and territory we dont?Are we helter-skelter specialists and can win the open unstructured game, but not quite as dominant when we need to be more composed?

Taking the suggestion in the article a bit further, why not have a Div 1 and 2 comp, 6 in each, so that games in both divisions would be closer. And with automatic promo-relegation so that theres something worth playing for - at the end of a double round-robin, 1 v 4 and 2 v 3 semis, and 5 v 6 for the relegation spot.
