AB - We work towards establishing that if it is consistent that there is a supercompact cardinal then it is consistent that every locally compact perfectly normal space is paracompact. At a crucial step we use some still unpublished results announced by Todorcevic. Modulo this and the large cardinal, this answers a question of S. Watson. Modulo these same unpublished results, we also show that if it is consistent that there is a supercompact cardinal, it is consistent that every locally compact space with a hereditarily normal square is metrizable. We also solve a problem raised by the second author, proving it consistent with ZFC that every first countable hereditarily normal countable chain condition space is hereditarily separable.
