We have big concerns about the new #PlanningWhitePaper reforms. They could threaten England’s wildlife, restrict nature into unprotected silos and make it harder for communities to have their say (1/8) #WilderFuture #PlanningWhitePaper

We’re responding to the consultation, and have put forward the following principles we want to see incorporated into the reforms (2/8) #WilderFuture #PlanningWhitePaper

Wildlife recovery, and people’s easy access to nature should be at the heart of the planning reform, with a Nature Recovery Network underpinning local plans (3/8) #WilderFuture #PlanningWhitePaper

We need a successful planning system for nature to recover, and to create green spaces at the heart of communities. Wildlife is still declining; the current system isn’t working. But we believe the proposed reforms will make a bad situation much worse. Here’s why 👇

1⃣ They’re highly likely to increase the decline of nature. The proposed approach offers less protection for nature than we already have, and there is little detail on how planning will help nature to recover⚠️

2⃣ They fail to bring people closer to nature. They risk the direct loss of nature-rich green spaces near where people live, restricting access to places which improve our health and wellbeing⚠️
