Putin has not funded disruption and chaos across Europe and the UK solely to weaken his enemies. He also knows that disruption and chaos favour the far right. And the far right loves Putin. It will abandon Ukraine and build him a highway into Europe.

Up to 60 red-listed curlew roosted on the Cambois data centre site: 15% of the number Northumberland Shore SSSI was designated for (found in QTS's own surveys). Now it's being cleared. Mitigation: just £40k to extend a council wader site already created for another development in 2014.

This is good from the Government's new National Planning Policy Framework: "Development proposals should protect and enhance the network of public rights of way". The previous version spoke mainly about "maintaining" them. Ramblers and assorted wanderers will be pleased.
TR8: Public rights of way
1. Development proposals should:
a. Protect and enhance the network of public rights of way, including through suitable
diversions agreed with the highway authority; and
b. Take opportunities to extend, link or improve the quality of existing routes where this
enables one or more of the following:
i. Improved access to green spaces and the countryside;
ii. New direct and circular routes and connections between local and long-distance
footpaths, bridleways and cycle routes;
47 Including new technologies, for example droneports, vertiports and other autonomous vehicle facilities.
73
iii. The provision of accessible, safe and convenient links to services and facilities;
and
iv. Improved connections with public transport stops and interchanges.
