WE KNOW how David felt when facing Goliath ("Prince's rural homes plan angers villagers", 7 February). We are angry because near by there are 80 houses being built on Duchy land, with permission for another 137. Midsomer Norton is a poor, underprivileged town that has borne the brunt of house building. The quality of our lives, the environment and our identity are threatened. By selling off more land, Prince Charles forfeits his environmental credentials. The public was consulted, and overwhelmingly rejected it. What price democracy?
