The nightmare before Christmas continues. New UK planning changes weaken Biodiversity Net Gain, exempting around 60% of applications from creating wildlife habitat. CEO @CraigBennett3 warns this breaks manifesto promises.

Bats: our favorite creatures of the night (although we might be a bit biased).
But they're not the only nocturnal critters pulling an all-nighter. Our latest blog post explores some of the other nighttime fellows: https://t.co/pPBS5HjvyG

A deeply worrying step backwards for nature. The UK Government has rejected Amendment 130/40 and crucial chalk stream protections.

Using nature as a scapegoat won’t fix the planning system - it will only damage it.

Everything you know about vampire bats is a lie! Okay, well they do drink blood, but who hasn’t? Let’s look at their good qualities.
🩸 cute
🩸 great friends
🩸 wonderful mothers
🩸 regurgitate blood for each other

❌ The Chancellor has interfered with planning yet again to try and produce growth!

Growth can’t come at nature’s expense.

Read our latest briefing and tell your MP why nature protections in planning matter, send them a postcard.

We can’t afford to weaken National Park protections ⚠️

But there are rumours that some in Westminster want to remove the Protected Landscapes duty - the only real power to secure action for nature

We can't let 30 years of campaigning go down the drain: https://t.co/BEb6g6DsZ6

🦇 Our tiny bat patients are carefully fed by hand at Tiggywinkles. Once recovered, we try something rather special… Our volunteers wait at the spot they were found (often for hours) and, incredibly, the parent will often fly back to collect them = Bats reunited! #teamwork

🌿 Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) means developers must leave nature better than they found it.

Now @GOVUK wants to drop this rule for small sites- that could mean big losses for wildlife.

🦋 Small green spaces matter.

📣 Say no to weaker protections.

The UK Government promised voters they would protect nature and build new towns “with nature at the heart”. Yet the Planning and Infrastructure Bill will undo important protections. That's why we're calling on Government to withdraw Part 3 of the Bill.

New research from the Home Builders Federation highlights that lack of resources in local authorities and lack of a clear, standard process are key causes to delays in the delivery of new homes, not nature. So why is nature being used as a scapegoat? 🤔 (1/2)
