   There is big conservation news coming out of Scotland today.

   The government has adopted new planning rules, known as National Planning Framework 4, which will ensure that *NO* development will be supported if it impacts ancient woodland & ancient & veteran trees across the country.

   The new rules have come into force with immediate effect.

   These habitats are irreplaceable, so it's a landmark step in the fight against climate & nature emergencies.
