The heads of 32 UK nature organisations have written to the government warning that the planning bill “throws environmental protection to the wind”.

The planning and infrastructure bill, which is at committee stage in parliament, aims to streamline regulations for developers so they can speed up their projects.

Nature bosses have written to the environment and housing secretaries warning that the bill is “one-sided” and could allow developers to ignore environmental protections.
