I have contacted my planning department council on this some time ago and they said it wasn’t their decision to make, and was up to developers to take on.
I approached my local MP – who was less than useful in saying he could do no more on it (than the nothing that he had done already was what I concluded)
Yesterday I sat and wrote an e-mail to Chris Grayling parliamentary MP and ‘Hedgehog Species Champion’ to urge him to get something into Development Policies for new builds and road systems etc that mandated the need to build hedgehog / wildlife friendly homes and highways if they were to continue on this drive to ‘pave paradise’.
Builders and developers – and most councils – wont do anything unless its forced on them.
Can we build a campaign to get Chris Grayling moving on this?
