Promises to improve #nature are being broken by house builders. Across site visits, researchers found only 53% of ecological features mandated by planning conditions were actually present, dropping to just 34% when newly planted trees were excluded. newscientist.com/article/248008…

Join us Tuesday 3rd June at 5pm: "Timescaping Planning: what's the problem, and who loses out" With Prof Prof Gavin Parker & Dr Mark Dobson, Uni of Reading. Why the powers-that-be seek to remove 'obstructionists' & 'nay-sayers' from the planning process in a headlong rush to build

The Conservatives rejected swift bricks in government, and now Labour is backtracking despite supporting them in opposition. Swifts are one of Britain’s most iconic birds, and in steep decline, along with other cavity-nesting species. All they need is a brick with a hole. It’s

Developers are sitting on land to boost profits. This is a crisis that's holding up housebuilding. Ripping up nature protections won't solve this problem.

This afternoon, the Planning Bill enters the House of Lords. Within it is a proposal that would make it easier to destroy the woods, rivers and wildlife we all love - by weakening the laws that keep them safe. If Part 3 isn’t changed or scrapped, nature will pay the price. ⚠️

And so we need nowhere near the 380,000 homes a year + new towns the government is intent on building . We only need 120,000 homes per annum. (And not one of those needs to be on greenfield. We have 3.5m alternatives homesforeveryone.org) From telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/06/2…

It's so obviously the right thing to do, so why isn't it happening here?

Happening all over the country while brownfield sites are ignored.

Thousands of homes across England are being built without community infrastructure, leaving families without access to playgrounds, schools, shops, doctors. Politicians bask in deregulation and housing targets, developers count profits. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

There ARE more planning permissions, BUT currently developers are building LESS. Market housing is just proving too expensive in a cost of living crisis. HOWEVER big developers want to keep the prices up, not build more and undermine their land-bank value & profits. BBC News (UK)

This is an excellent suggestion. 👏 Well said Paul De Zylva The government’s recent rhetoric on nature, and especially about those who seek to protect it, is untrue, adversarial, and downright rude!

He can deregulate as much as he wants but the houses won't get built. He can get as furious as he wants with bats, snails and nimbys, but that won't help. What he actually needs to do is calm down and speak to CommunityPlanningAlliance 🦇🦎 about what the housing crisis really is (and how to

Great to be able to show the missed opportunities that our hundrds of thousands of long-term empty homes represent and the damage they do to neighbours and communities on Points West, Evening News: 07/08/2025: bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod… via @bbciplayer

Hey Keir Starmer no one voted for you to kill wildlife and remove affordable housing which is what these Tories are asking you to do. You were voted to be different than the Conservatives. This is your chance to prove that by ignoring them. Save the bats! 🦇
