Housebuilding could double in rural areas like the Cotswolds and Cumbria under the government's damaging planning changes.
This could threaten valued countryside, while doing little to tackle the affordable housing crisis.

Why #JONESHILLWOOD matters. The devastation caused to wildlife & our cultural, shared heritage by #HS2 is a travesty. Not all rail is right, or whatโs needed anymore. Solidarity, strength & love to all those standing before the chainsaws for whatโs right. #StopHS2 @AnothervoiceWB

Anyone who believes @NaturalCambs @CambAhead @fensbiosphere can 'double nature' needs a reality check.
This is what 'doubling nature' looks like along the bus way near the Virido development in Trumpington.
So-called Wood is dead sticks in the ground. Barely any still alive.

The disastrous #PlanningWhitePaper not just #AnotherDodgyAlgorythm ?
It fails to deliver #Sustainability ... a big issue that needs sorting too!
Government's proposed housing formula #mutantalgorithm will blast the water companies' planning out of the water if adopted. E.g. Anglian Water is planning for the deficits shown here based on much lower 2019 pop growth targets: @joe_crowley @robbiebryson1 @TheGazette @EADT24

One of the reasons it's so difficult to make progress with @SouthCambs is that the council's legal positions are hardly ever informed by a proper legal analysis of the relevant law & factual circumstances but rather by an analysis of what the council thinks it can get away with.

Sep 1: A v interesting point from the @Conservatives backbench loyalists on #BuildBuildBuild.
I think the people of villages & market towns up & down the land will concur with the Tory loyalists on this.

Janine Mantle, Corporate Affairs Director has just resigned from #HS2. In social media she said, โIt was, at times, tough. I never lost sight of the effect HS2 is having on impacted communities - those whoโve lost homes & business premisesโ Indeed. Clearly time to #StopHS2

'Nimby' is pejorative but many Nimbies are heroes. Volume housebuilders are predatory. They circle weak local authorities like sharks. They hate brownfield sites and social housing. They go for Green Belt and World Heritage Sites. Resistance is very often fully justified.
