Environment Planning & Protection Network

The environmental agenda is never far from the thoughts of planners. Over the years, concerns have changed from wildlife, landscape and pollution issues, to a much wider consideration of short and long term impacts on the human environment.
The Environmental Planning and Protection Network aims to enable it's members to make better informed decisions.

Join one of our interest groups! Focus on Biodiversity
The Network's Biodiversity Interest group is continuing to work on a joint project with the Green Building Council to develop a proposed standard method for collating information about changes to biodiversity as a result of development, which may feed into a national demonstration project on capturing biodiversity planning data, which will be supported by the Defra Fund for Local Biodiversity Recording
