Activists have won a fight against the expansion of a parking space in a protected landscape that left them with a “terrible” steel wall and street lighting “As bright as daylight”.

The Dedham Vale Society said that the “insensitive development” at the Manningree train station in Essex was a “pillar” on a landscape that was famous by the painter John Constable.

Activists say that their victory is a critical precedent for all 10 national parks and 34 national landscapes in England, which are previously known as areas with outstanding natural beauty.

The municipal secretary Angela Rayner has accepted To save and improve these areas..

The chairman of the Dedham Vale Society, Charles Clover, said that expansions had brought 58 other LED road lanterns to the train station and the policeman of Constable Country to Dedham and Flatford were “destroyed” by the “horrible wall”.

Mr. Clover said the development took out trees where he once heard a nightingale.

Mr. Clover described the result as an “enormously important victory” for the area and other protected landscapes.

“It means that the new legal obligation to preserve and improve national landscapes and national parks in their decisions must be observed by all official bodies. Only a few did this,” he said.

Dr. Rose O'Neill from the campaign for national parks said it was an “extremely important victory”.

She said: “Government agencies such as OFWAT, the planning inspectorate and the national highways, have made one eye.

“The State Secretary of the State Secretary that this is illegal is paving the way for everyone else to awakle and take measures.”

The ward operator Greater Anglia said that she recognized the decision as an interested party and not as a defendant.

A spokesman said: “The decision is now made again by the Foreign Minister and it would not be appropriate to comment on this process at this time.”
