National Planning Policy Framework: proposed reforms and other changes to the planning system

Here’s how you can help. You can email planning policy consultation at PlanningPolicyConsultation@communities.gov.uk and let then know that swift bricks must be mandated through building legislation.

But you need to act quickly - as the deadline is March 10th

Hmm, could it be your interpretation is influenced by our lousy weather?! 😏

Middle left makes me think of a wood (brown section) on a distant ridge above a field of wheat (yellow section) - you just can't see the tops of the trees in the wood because they've been cut off from the image.

And that's the quarterly John Hopkins COVID Long Study survey completed for the first time this year. I always forget I signed up to do this until the email comes in to ask me to complete this quarter's survey. Doesn't bother me, though - only takes roughly 5 minutes to do.

Enjoyed my truncated walk along the riverbank (as I had to go into town) - saw a Moorhen come into land - first time ever, so I hadn't realised before what a huge wingspan they have! 😍

I get that a lot 'cos I'm always talking to birbs. I even coo at the pigeons and sometimes they *don't* fly off. A lady in the park recently called me a 'Blackbird whisperer' because one came very close to me (about half a metre away) while looking for insects under the leaves.

First birds of my day: a Robin singing from atop the gatepost, competing gaily with a Dunnock, who was in full-throated song atop the roof ridge opposite. Meanwhile, a pair of Magpie bobbed & rattled from a chimney further up the street & a Herring Gull yelled overhead.

As a trans|non-binary person I'd be deeply grateful for such a trigger warning.
