Our environment – at the heart of everything

Once an environment is changed, for instance by development, building roads, pollution or water extraction, it is changed for ever. When a green field is built on, it cannot be replaced.

National and local conservation, environmental and heritage bodies throughout the country have been established to monitor, advise, lobby and influence everyone from the general public to our key decision makers.

Our society is dynamic and changes brought about by issues such as population increase and climate change must be embraced.

But the views of these bodies need to play a key part in all decisions taken in the future.
