Prof Dame @ejmilnergulland.bsky.social, a signatory to the letter, says: “Taking a strategic approach to recovering nature in the context of other priorities is important, but this Bill is far too vague about how this would be done. Nature is not an obstacle to prosperity, it underpins it”.

@ejmilnergulland.bsky.social is spot on. MPs must pause Part III of the Planning Bill—consult widely—and align it with the spirit and substance of the Environment Act and #CANBill. Housing’s urgent—but it doesn’t need to happen at #nature’s expense. Nature isn’t a “nice to have”. It’s all we have.

🚨 Planning and Infrastructure Bill: Pause Part III 🚨 It risks harming nature, slowing developers, and hiking costs. Right now, it’s a ‘lose, lose’ for the economy and the environment. It needs consultation, assessment, and piloting to secure a ‘win, win’ for all. 👇 Watch why!
