Housing secretary says wildlife should be protected but not at the expense of building the homes the country needs

The government plans to unveil sweeping changes this week to the national planning policy framework, the document which sets out national priorities for building, after a consultation.

I’m really looking forward to the yimby charter, I’ve got to say. We’re going to build so much stuff, it’s going to be amazing.

‘Labour seem to be saying that Angela is best and local people can be ignored.’

I endorse this message.

    So they’re moving the newts and still building? That seems ok, as long as it’s done properly.

      Sadly, translocation has a very low success rate. It lets the developers say that they’ve been good, but if you return to check 5 years down the line chances are the reception site will be in a very poor condition and the tranlocated population much reduced or gone altogether.

      If we are on a position where Labour are saying that the tories protected wildlife too much, my hopes for wildlife are not high.

        Ok. I take it all back then. To be fair the idea that the Tories would protect anything but themselves or money is bonkers.
