Support Lord Amendments in the Planning & Infrastructure Bill
Support amendments 38 and 40 (at time of writing 14/11/25). These are to protect chalk streams and for EDPs to be solely for issues such as nutrient neutrality, water use & pollution & air pollution - NOT protected species & habitats.

Background
We want our politicians to listen to the science and the professionals. There is no sound evidence that protected, site loyal species, and habitats (which take centuries to establish), can have conservation status maintained through EDPs. Current proposed safeguards are not enough and the bill in its current form is high risk. Without supporting the amendments, the government are wilfully allowing the degradation of environmental legislation.
