8. Ancient woodlands replaced by saplings in plastic tubes, ancient meadows by a reseeded verge, chalkstreams ... oh, sod the chalkstreams.
As building land is expensive, and farmland much cheaper, any "replacement" habitat will be shifted far from where people live. Goodbye contact with nature.

7. No more ecological site surveys. No more mitigation hierarchy. No more protection of any ecosystem, however rare, valueable, irreplaceable. All a developer needs do is to put up some money to create a new ecosystem somewhere, and job done.

3. Why not? Well, Keir Starmer has been so good as to explain it: these policies came about as a result of his "conversations with leading CEOs”. This is a bill for corporations, not for us. How long will it be before we discover that it was drafted by a Tufton Street junktank?

2. It's an extraordinary thing, this bill, drafted with no input whatever from anyone with environmental expertise. In fact, inputs from professional bodies and scientists working on environmental issues appear to have been systematically struck down. The government does not want this scrutiny.

Why does no one talk about what supports actually help autistic people thrive?
Why is there money for investigations, but not for speech therapy, accessible classrooms, or mental health support?
Why is your future being politicised by people who’ve never sat beside you?
