Yeah – I see the practical considerations.

And the layers of locality have practical (and ideological) considerations of their own. Local planning powers and the laws around them have been used a number of times as proxy tools in fight about different versions of environmentalism and the future of Scotland’s energy and tourism industries during the Beuly-Denny transmission line upgrade dispute. This always struck as a strange way to run a serious conversation about individual rights and national priorities.

In emphasising the ideological nature of the issues I wanted to avoid some hand-waving about them being just technical or practical matters to be decided on a case by case (which would strike me as the first move of a cunning centraliser.)
