RT @BeccyRSPB: Green vs #growth is a false choice. It’s out of date and doesn’t deal with resilience for the future.

I left @SteveReedMP's #LandUseFramework launch feeling hopeful. For healthy food, green infrastructure *and* nature, it'll need: 🌎a legal link to planning & consenting 🌍rules to target incentives 🌏public interest in private land important for wildlife.

The process so far has been really collaborative, thanks to @SteveReedMP and it's good to see the need for sustained funding, cross-dept working & delivery and accountability recognised. The next stage will need to find & fill big policy/investment gaps.

Chancellor @RachelReevesMP, millions of people are worried about #wildlife, even if some developers want to wash their hands of it. The best way to stop people worrying about chalk streams, dormice, wildflower meadows and, yes, bats isn't to deregulate. It's to #RestoreNatureNow

Recognising that resilient, biodiverse ecosystems are underpinning "assets" that require maintenance and investment & planning for nature recovery on that basis would help defuse the unnecessary conflict brewing between nature and development. There's no growth without nature.
