The application was refused and then in controversial turnaround it's suddenly approved in a closed Plans Panel remote meeting! Our last little bit of green!

After 15 years of fighting, D-day has finally arrived. @ChrisGPackham we take our fight to save countryside and wildlife to court on Tuesday. A share would be the icing!

Anyone else noticed Tory MPs twitter accounts being deleted? @andreajenkyns. @jegullis @NadineDorries. Preparation for a GE? 🤔

Martin, the 🍃💚🍃logo was my idea. I have encouraged people to adopt it for a couple years now. To support Tweets on #nature #wildlife #trees #birds #bees #greenspaces #greenbelt #waterways #hedgerows #WildflowerMeadows etc.etc. Support is widespread NO specific back yard.

I’ve emailed the “powers that be” twice now but work still continues. I know that we’re not going to stop them building but respect to both residents and the following of regulations should surely be a priority.

Now land acquired @redrow and their contractors showing their true colours by demonstrating massive lack of respect to not only #WestArdsley community but #LeedsCityCouncil planning process itself. @Redrowhomes behaviour is disgraceful and unacceptable. Complaints tsunami starts.

So sorry. The planning system is made out to be democratic, but in reality, I believe it’s just a series of handshakes and deals done behind closed doors. Hold your heads high that you stood up and tried. 💚

People think it’s just an image. It’s not, it’s a place where memories are made, where people connect, where we can all escape, relax and disconnect from life. I get emotional taking these images, this #landscape is #irreplaceable – at Gildersome, England

Enjoying the autumn sunshine and my lovely view. The green lung of our village. Better savour it as by next spring it will be a @redrow building site. Thank you leeds city council for going against all of your policy and putting this unsustainable dev through @LeedsCC_CEAQ – at Gildersome, England

So sorry @HaighHelp, developers have far too much power. How can a scheme that has 3500 objections still be given the go ahead? It’s baffling. 💚

Guys I need your help urgently! @Redrow are coming in with diggers to Yew Tree Farm while @Catherinewith11 is on holiday and are digging trenches in the land despite the council@voting to protect it! Please RT this and blow up their Twitter with complaints. This is actually evil!

Felt physically sick when I saw the notices go up this morning. Heartbreaking that this is actually going to go through despite 3,500 resident objections @andreajenkyns @RobertJenrick @BorisJohnson – at Gildersome, England

Today, grouse moor burning season begins — shooting estates will set hundreds of fires on carbon-rich peatlands between now and April. How can we tell the world to tackle climate change when we still allow this in our own backyard? Come on @Pow_Rebecca, time for a total ban.

Dear @SouthCambs, No one needs your time-wasting, whitewash "action plan". What we need is an adequate Environmental Statement for the next 5,000 houses you want to build at Northstowe—one that examines the cumulative environmental impacts. bbc.com/news/uk-england-camb…

Sorry to hear that I know how difficult it can be. I use to walk 14 miles a day to get my son to and from a school in Belgium.
