To avoid the plans on nutrient neutrality becoming just a sticky plaster to the UK's housebuilding needs, a more radical solution is needed... Read more: http://bit.ly/44yUFnu Sign up to my mailing list: https://bit.ly/3IxFYY5. #environment #housebuilding #pollution

This is the best commentary I've read on the topic of #NutrientNeutrality. Even better than mine 😊 :) https://lnkd.in/eqne5aVa

The Supreme Court’s historic judgment in Sarah Finch v Surrey County Council is a wonderful victory for our courageous client, and her supporters in the Weald Action Group. It is also a fantastic victory for the planet because it is bound to have an significant impact on fossil fuel extraction both here in the UK and beyond our borders. Planning authorities in the UK will now be required to face up to the fact that fossil fuel extraction will inevitably lead to an increase in global warming which will only serve to exacerbate the climate emergency and put us all in even greater danger - before deciding whether to grant planning permission for such a project. Faced with that knowledge I think that many decision makers will do the right thing for the sake of the planet, our children and future generations and refuse permission. But I am sure that the judgment will have wider ramifications and that it will influence the judges in other countries in Europe (where the EIA Directive is in force) as well as those made by judges in other jurisdictions that hold decisions of the UK Supreme Court in high regard.

⚖ Great news for communities, climate campaigners, and litigators from today's UK Supreme Court decision in the Finch case ⚖ Incredibly significant for the UK and - with a great shout-out to the Greenpeace Nordic case! - for Europe and beyond! Congratulations to all involved 🍃 "79. In this case there is no uncertainty about the relevant facts. It is known with certainty that the extraction of oil at the proposed well site in Surrey (...) would initiate a causal chain that would lead to the combustion of the oil and release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere (...) 🔥 if the project goes ahead, this chain of events and the resulting effects on climate are not merely likely but inevitable 🔥 ." "93. It is worth emphasising that the EIA Directive does not impose any geographical limit on the scope of the environmental effects of a project which must be identified, described and assessed when an EIA is required. In principle, all likely significant effects of the project must be assessed, irrespective of where (or when) those effects will be generated or felt. (...) 🌎 There is no principle that, if environmental harm is exported, it may be ignored 🌎 ."

This government goes against everything that I hold dear for our future and the future of our kids. - Introduce more risk on highways - Make false promises towards a broken agricultural system - Ignore and minimise climate ambitions that help to avoid catastrophies - Not solve the migration crisis but shift responsibility to border states and allow for more exploitation and criminal organisations to fill the gaps. When are we going to hold the government responsible for their long term impact and stop voting for short terms unrealistic promises… https://lnkd.in/eW9kt-YG
