✍️ England's most sensitive and protected natural habitats are at risk of being destroyed by development under Labour's new planning bill, according to legal analysis.
👉 The bill threatens 5,251 protected areas, including cherished landscapes and rivers 👉 Protected habitats include locations for threatened British wildlife, such as nightingales, badgers, and otters 👉 The government claims the bill does not weaken environmental protections, but legal opinions and charities disagree 👉 The bill allows developers to sidestep current environmental obligations and cause irreparable harm to irreplaceable habitats
