I live in a block of flats with a large communal garden. The landlord has decided to build another block next to ours. I've seen the plans and they want to pave over an ancient pond where frogs breed every year. The problem is that they didn't know it was there because it's dry for part of the year. So they didn't tell the council planning department. Now they've got a plan that doesn't involve a pond and they're sticking to it. They won't discuss it with me, apart from saying it would cost too much money to change the plan. The planning dept gave me a cryptic message saying they couldn't find a proposal so they can't do anything. I was expecting them to say the landlord is not allowed to get rid of the pond or that they don't need permission to change the plan. The new building is not where the pond is, so there is absolutely no reason to get rid of it. I'm not trying to stop the building, just keep this pond. I don't know what I should do.
