Although I am pleased Stanmer House is to be repaired, I am horrified at the thought of houses being built behind it.

This will alter the whole atmosphere of the park, a beautiful rural place with a farm, several farm cottages and a shop. What is to become of the cottages?

I spent many happy hours in the park watching cricket, walking in the woods, having tea and visiting the beautiful church.

Now I hear travellers frequent this from time to time. What has become of the statues behind the house and the greenhouses? What kind of houses are to be built?
