On Thursday night, we heard that government was making big concessions on its planning bill, putting lots more controls on its nature recovery plans. I find this disappointing. And to explain why, I have to tell a story Iāve been holding off from sharing.

Really interesting post from Martin! I think this paragraph is the best way to reconcile stats with subjective feelings ā it's not that things haven't got better, it's that the public's expectations have raised.

The other good thing about removing the requirement for planning consent for heat pumps within 1m of a neighbouring property is that it takes a burden off over-stretched planning authorities. A relatively small one, but helpful none the less.

Crypto may be eating up the U.S. political system but back in the real word its use by regular folks is dropping. Fed data shows the 8 percent of adults who used cryptocurrency either as money or investment last year is down from 12% in 2021. Data also shows almost no use as actual money.
