Campaign to preserve the view of Hill 60

The City Council of Ieper has granted planning permission for the building of a large "family house" directly opposite the pedestrian entrance to the Hill 60 site, blocking the view of the town of Ypres and the contested land on which so many fought and died.

This goes against Ieper Council's long standing policy:

"...as long as these land parcels remain unbuilt they preserve the vista which the Germans had from Hill 60 and which immediately makes clear why this place was so heavily contested....."
