Biodiversity: are we failing to meet Government Targets?

I use the word targets loosely here but it is coming to the forefront of the political agenda (certainly at local level)  to ensure Communities are protected against loss of Biodiversity. Councils have a Duty to record that such debates have taken place. In other words protecting as much as possible foliage and the wild-life living in it.

The Boston Road Recreation ground is one such major proposed development. The Leasingham / Holdingham Anaerobic Digestion and Chicken Farm is another. At least the issue would be seen to have been discussed and the scale of the problems appreciated. The Environmental Impact Assessments are carried out but whether or not this meets to Duty placed on Councils in the level of detail and the way it is debated is open to question.

Here is what the Government says about it, as a nation.  Biodiversity 2020
