Niall Hobhouse to John Hubbard about FOA scheme

Don’t see the FOA scheme as yet definitive- they will have a chance to review it on site when the ground has been cleared and grassed- we may get the points knocked off then, and I certainly don’t think they have thought hard enough about the views in and out which is perhaps understandable with all the vegetation still in situ. Overall , the best way to think of FOA is as provocation, not yet, or even ever, a fixed scheme; we have to rely on the gardeners for that old trick of colonizing and improvising with whatever they find”.
