I'd say that was seriously overpriced given that planning permission
has been turned down and it's going to be damn expensive for any
potential owner to insure with it's fatality record.

Naaah. We just buy it and put in a Mr. Small sock puppet
to ask divers not to dive and to regret any accidents.
I don't think his insurance has paid out anything which
is what matters to insurance companies. We already have
70 quid and I'd put in another 30 to make it up to 100
so we've got to beat him down a bit. Then, every year,
we apply for planning permission to dump high level
nuclear waste and act offended when we get turned down.

You've done this before, haven't you?

So planning permission was refused and it has a record of fatalities.

Begs the question why people go there and kill themselves ?

Beats me. However, I suspect people don't turn up there intending
it to be their last dive. Maybe because it's deep and inland,
people thing it's somehow safer than diving similar depths in the
sea. I'd have thought given the cold and the lack of any rescue
facilities it's a lot more unsafe...

You forgot to mention that there is some doubt that it's actually his
to sell. However on the brighter side:

1. The planning permission issue is, AFAIK, about the fact that
someone knocked down some listed buildings there, not an objection in
principle.

2. Despite all the doom and gloom sayers, Chepstow managed to open
with a depth of 80M. The qualitative gap between 35M and 80M is
bigger than 80M to 100M. The bad safety record might be addressable,
I don't know.

Anyway if I had it spare I'd buy it just to make sure it never gets
closed, even if it never gets developed, but I don't have any money :(
