The prospect of land at Barnard's Green roundabout being sold off means the Green would no longer be green. Easing the way for more traffic also raises the issue once more of the possible development of Malvern College land.

Plans for the development of this area have been kept under wraps ever since the Tesco supermarket application was rejected.

Who will be the the first to apply for planning permission? QinetiQ or a supermarket chain? Barnard's Green is a thriving, pleasant shopping area.

We didn't want development then. We don't want it now.

Is this what passes for conservation in Malvern?
