Protect Our Countryside and Our Farmland in the Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Protect Our Countryside and Our Farmland in the Planning and Infrastructure Bill — 21 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Lords Amendment 40 ensured Environmental Delivery Plans cannot justify harm to habitats, wildlife or productive farmland. Environmental groups backed it because it prevented damage being traded for financial payments.”

Additional details

Removing Amendment 40 leaves our countryside exposed to avoidable harm. Productive farmland is already under pressure from large-scale industrial developments, and this change weakens vital safeguards. Restoring Amendment 40 would protect nature, food security and rural communities by ensuring environmental damage cannot be justified for financial gain.
