@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!
