The government has adopted new planning rules, known as National Planning Framework 4, which will ensure that NO development will be supported if it impacts ancient woodland & ancient & veteran trees across the country.
The new rules have come into force with immediate effect.
These habitats are irreplaceable, so it's a landmark step in the fight against climate & nature emergencies.
