The Government wants to reform the planning system to make it
quicker to build major infrastructure like roads, airports and power
stations. But in doing so, they are going to cut back on local
people's rights to have a say which would be bad news for the
natural environment including ancient woodland.
The
Planning Bill was published on 27 November, we are currently
examining it and you should check back here for action to take on it
over the next two weeks.
Environmental and civic organisations with a combined membership of
five million people have come together to fight these proposals,
but we need your help.
