Good news for ancient woodland, but work still to do

The Government’s proposals to update English planning policy include a huge improvement for the protection for ancient woodland. Thanks to our campaigning and our supporters’ tireless efforts the current proposals set out that only ‘wholly exceptional’ development will be permitted in ancient woodland. This is fantastic news.

Unfortunately and inexplicably, while improving protection for ancient woodland the Government chose not to extend this to all of England's aged and veteran trees, separating the two habitats for the first time in the National Planning Policy Framework.

Seeing the woods for the trees - what do NPPF proposals really mean?

The new consultation draft of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)  is a mixed bag, with great news for ancient woodland but bad news for aged and veteran trees. Although the big issue driving these policy changes is housing, what are the implications for the environment generally?

Do you know this? #Expanded Polystyrene is one of the few materials that can truly claim to be 100% recyclable Manufacture and use of Expanded Polystyrene  do not generate any risk to health or the environment and life cycle analyses have shown that Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) has far less of an impact on the #environment than other competitive materials for the same use.
