Access to nature is a class issue.
When developers push for lower standards it deepens inequality and it's the poorest who pay.
A Labour government shouldn't be making life greyer and less healthy for these communities.
Nature belongs to all of us - not just the richest.

Ancient woodlands aren’t a blocker. Wildlife isn’t a hindrance. Chalk streams aren’t anti-growth.
Our wildlife is on the brink - one in six species faces extinction.
These species help define who we are as a nation - we won’t get a second chance to save them.

FT (£) Neal Hudson: “Millions of people need homes. That’s not up for debate. But confusing need with demand has caused a massive policy failure.” Correct. Hands up those who still believe ‘fixing planning’ will fix ‘need.’ ft.com/content/90802404-9313… via @ft

House of Lords committee warns that the programme to build 12 new towns will not succeed “without strong central government leadership and adequate funding.” Suggesting neither is in evidence at the moment.

Endless deregulation for short-term "growth" only serves the rich and powerful.
Nature, local democracy and affordable homes come second to their profits.
We need well-planned council housing to raise living standards while cherishing not trashing nature.

🚩Govt. admits concessions to Pt 3 of the Planning Bill are tokenistic and a 'tactical retreat' to speed the Bill up through the Lords. The amends don't help nature. Killing snails won't make mortgages any more affordable for homebuyers. Reeves presents a false dichotomy here

🚩Government's proposed concessions to the Planning Bill don't protect irreplaceable habitats. The Bill *assumes* that replacement habitats are successfully delivered. Here, Barry Gardiner MP interrogates Matthew Pennycook on this:
