Developers encroach on 2,000-year-old Devon wetland citing ‘blockages’ to Labour’s housing plans
The article discusses the plans to develop a 2,000-year-old wetland in Devon, England, known as Wolborough Fen, which is a site of special scientific interest (SSSI). Developers Vistry Group have stated that the conditions to protect the wetland are "blocking the growth the government is demanding" and are now encroaching on the protected habitat. According to the planning conditions, the developers are required to protect Wolborough Fen as they prepare the groundwork for the construction of 1,200 homes. However, the developers claim that these conditions are hindering their ability to meet the government's housing targets. The article suggests that the developers are now moving forward with the development, despite the legal requirements to protect the ecologically significant wetland.
