The English countryside is under threat again. The government is trying to push for large-scale changes to the planning laws, which would make it easier to build on green field sites. This is all happening over the next few weeks. The National Trust warns of “unchecked and damaging development” and Friends of the Earth predicts “a building free-for-all that will blight our countryside with bad building”. A petition may make the government think again. If you feel strongly about this, you can visit https://secure.38degrees.org.uk/save-our-countryside and sign an online petition.
