For a thriving countryside that benefits everyone

On the day the Planning White Paper consultation closes, we @CPRE have teamed up with @Shelter on this letter to the @Telegraph to highlight that the govt's proposals could mean a big drop in affordable housing... @pollyn1

The threat is looming once again! Buying shares in Long Lands will help prevent destruction of habitats, biodiversity and woodland. If you haven't got some, then please do! #communitywoodland #community #woodland

New Fringe Festival For All-things Dark Skies This October Half-term @northyorkmoors #DarkSkies

Did you know 1 in 8 UK households don't have a garden?

Excited to be the opening speaker @CPRE Annual Conference (virtually) next week about restoring resilience through the outdoors, co-founding @MO_Mountains and why we need the countryside for #mentalhealth.

Ripping up the #planning system won’t build the good, affordable homes we need.

Instead, England needs stronger rules to guarantee that all new homes are #healthy, #safe and #sustainable.
