The UK Government promised to protect and restore nature. But less than a year in, new planning changes are set to weaken environmental protections for developments, like housebuilding.
This is bad for wildlife and for people.
We have tried to work with Ministers to highlights gaps for nature in the new Planning and Infrastructure Bill, including handing in an open letter to Angela Rayner signed by thousands of supporters like you (read our CEO's letter about this here).

We’re tired of hearing the blame for slow development being placed on wildlife when evidence shows this just isn't true.
How you can help
Want development to work in harmony with nature? There’s no time to lose!
We’re demanding Ministers scrap Part Three of the Bill, which is the section that would weaken protections for wildlife - you can read the specifics in further detail here.
We’ve made it easy for you to email your MP, and we’ll copy in the Chancellor to every email. We want the Treasury to know that MPs are getting involved, and we want the Chancellor to hear from you too.
