Environmentalists say delaying the implementation of new biodiversity rules is 'a hammer blow for nature'.
By Claire Marshall & Malcolm PriorThe government is delaying putting into effect new environmental laws forcing developers to improve countryside and wildlife habitats, the BBC has learned.
The delay comes after weeks of political uncertainty on environmental policy, with the government looking to throw out "nutrient neutrality" pollution rules and to water down policy on achieving net zero. Neil Jefferson, the federation's managing director, said that would "not only prohibit local authorities' abilities to effectively manage this new requirement but inevitably lead to further delays in the planning process".
