THIS THREAD IS CLOSED AS MY COLLEAGUE HAS ENOUGH EXAMPLES NOW. THANKS.
A LGA colleague has asked me to pass on this request from a Member.
They want to know whether other local authorities have been
experiencing land owners or developers destroying wildlife/flora/fauna
on sites on which they want planning permission. They are working with
a member of the House of Lords to put forward an amendment to the
Environment Bill giving councils the power to list sites at risk of
biodiversity loss along with inspection and enforcement powers.
They are keen to gather other examples to support any debate on the amendment.
If you are willing and able to share examples of this happening in
your area please post here or send direct to Andrew Richmond LGA
Adviser - Environment: Andrew.Richmond@local.gov.uk. Please let
Andrew know if they need to be kept confidential or not.
As this is to support an amendment to the Environment Bill that is
currently going through the Lords, it would be very helpful to have
examples as soon as possible and by the end of this week at the latest
please.
