A fee for requesting discharge of conditions on planning approvals is a great idea given the no of applications approved with conditions - many to protect the environment - which developers later request removal of in a long list of applications.
It could even stop request splitting #Stormont

I'm still reeling from the murder of @ajenglish.bsky.social journalists in Gaza.
Who will report on Israel's planned takeover of Gaza now?
If they have nothing to hide, they would let the world's media in

Oh, the joys of a cuppa joe in the sun while the computer warms up. Rewilding parts of the garden mean I also get to enjoy the birds singing, crickets chirping, butterflies fluttering by and bees buzzing from one flower to the next - when you let grass grow, nature really shows up for you 🥰

Today was a sad day. We said goodbye to Alan Keys who spent the last few years & many before trying to solve pollution problems in our rivers & Lough Neagh.
He really was 'some man for one man' - and the numbers that turned out to pay their respects was testament to that #RIPAK47

📍 Three people in NI caught bovine TB last year

Very fruitful morning chairing the first #oneislandoneenvironment discussion at Ballymun’s Rediscovery Centre
this morning. Always great when participants leave with the thirst to learn more about climate, biodiversity loss & how we protect our environment for future generations. Great conversation

Really looking forward to chairing the first #FutureofIreland event focused on the environment in Dublin on Friday.
Should be a very interesting conversation on the one topic we should all be talking about.
