Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Nature and development can and should work hand in hand to create healthier, more resilient places for people and wildlife.

It's not "nature or development". It's both.

A 'Wilder Future' means everyone has wildlife and natural spaces nearby. But new changes to planning laws could put this at risk!

The draft wording of the new Planning and Infrastructure Bill allows the Government to scrap some of the parts designed to protect nature, threatening nature's recovery in England.

Don’t let this Bill become law without the safeguards needed to protect nature!

There’s a chance to amend the wording now, while it’s being decided. Making some specific changes to this Bill that are easy to agree to now would lead to wilder, healthier homes, workplaces, and lives. We all deserve that.

Agree? Let the government know!
