In response to the Government’s announced changes to the National Planning Policy Framework, Mark Lloyd, Chief Executive says:

"Safe housing is one of our most basic needs for survival and has to be a major government priority. However, so too are water, food, and energy. Planning well for nature alongside communities is the difference between us barely surviving, or thriving. We desperately need a plan for our limited supply of land that takes account of our changing climate and to make sure those plans provide space for green and blue in amongst the development. This is non-negotiable if we are to be ready for increasingly unpredictable weather and have nature to sustain us."
