We are sleep walking into a nature disaster in this country… I don’t think the general public realises what is coming 🤯😩

The Planning and Infrastructure Bill returns to the House of Lords on Monday 20th October. Despite evidence to the contrary, some government ministers, many MPs and some media outlets have continued to amplify the inaccurate narrative that wildlife conservation and environmental regulations are blocking house building and infrastructure projects. A ‘pay-to-destroy' system that ignores and disregards evidence will not benefit the economy, our natural heritage or society. We have updated a briefing document ahead of the House of Lords debate, please do share with peers. It is available from https://www.bats.org.uk/our-work/biodiversity-policy-advocacy/planning-and-infrastructure-bill
