"The things that make our towns, villages, cities and landscapes different or special are being eroded; conversely, their replacements would be familiar anywhere. It is happening across Britain - you can probably see at least one example of it from where you are sitting right now. The same chains in every high street; the same bricks in every new housing estate; the same signs on every road; the same menu in every pub."
