Thank you so much for all the support and encouragement. We will be working now to ensure all the planning conditions associated with the Betteshanger Park developments are met and that wildlife gets the best chance.

Where are the developers in Kent doing ‘brilliant things environmentally’ ?Our experience is that developers are only too ready to take advantage of a planning system that allows them to ride rough shod over protected species. kentonline.co.uk/kent/news/we-c…

The Prime Minister was wrong to blame nature protection & regulators for stopping development🏡 Read our joint letter to Keir Starmer calling for an urgent meeting to discuss how #nature & sustainable development can go hand-in-hand👇 wcl.org.uk/docs/2024/lett… 📷Cassie Crocker

The latest from Angela Raynor. Bitterly disappointing that the Labour Party appears to be taking an anti wildlife stance when it comes to development. amp.theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

Hi Angela Rayner. I’m one of the young people you’re supposedly building new houses for except we know they’ll still be unreachable in this economy. And read the room. We’re in a nature & climate emergency. Do you really think you’re winning us over? 🙄

2024 biodiversity indicators are in... If a wake-up call was needed to show the UK is failing nature, this is it. Short-term trends show progress stalling or reversing. 📉🚨 To meet 2030 targets, we need nature-friendly farming, smarter planning, and investment in nature now.

Hate to interrupt the increasingly cosy relationship between our government & the Big Housebuilding Lobby, but here in the real world we want our green spaces protected for food, climate & nature, & have homes we can afford Thanks Chris Packham for backing the Green Belt 💚

On a day when house building is in the news, we publish a new report - LOST NATURE. In it, we asked if housing developers have been delivering their ecological commitments. Answer: NO. Read the report here: wildjustice.org.uk/general/lost-n… 1/8

Here is the consultation on the Government’s working paper on Development and Nature’s Recovery. Please share. consult.communities.gov.uk/planning-polic…

Latest Government ideas on planning and nature recovery. It looks as if developers will no longer have to carry out ecological assessments of individual sites. This will be replaced by strategic plans that they can pay into. gov.uk/government/new…

Does anyone know why the Prime Minister is so taken by the extreme views of a few commercial lobbyists and their followers and so resistant to the complex answers to house building needs in the real world? It's beginning to throw his entire government off course.
