@CatrionaRiddel1 @MattKirby_ I guess in a nutshell my take all political parties need2belt up regarding the over simplified, polarised and disintegrated way green belts are framed dominated by a housing discourse which distorts rather than optimises good strategic planning which is conspicuous by its absence
On my way to London for a workshop exploring the planning policy of the inner #GreenBelt . The east coast mainline interests several green belts and is a good reminder of the changing and varied character of the landscapes covered by the policy.
How can we embed Nature into the heart of political and economic decision-making? Our thematic issue in Philosophical Transactions of the @royalsociety is out this week: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.10… @RSocPublishing
Last month, the UK announced it will close sandeel fisheries. This was fantastic news for nature at sea. ‼️ But now, the EU decided to legally challenge the UK's measure to close sandeel fisheries, caving into the pressure from Denmark and Sweden. Sandeels are forage fish…

up at 5.30 for an early train to london and found snow and ice on my car in #Rothbury weird weather but sunny now and an empty carriage ensures I can get work done
@MattKirby_ The West Coast main line too; except one doesn't see much actual coast ...
How can we embed Nature into the heart of political and economic decision-making? Our thematic issue in Philosophical Transactions of the @royalsociety is out this week: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.10… @RSocPublishing
@MattKirby_ makes good points & has a great evidence base. I'm hoping grey/brown belt within Green Belt will be properly assessed through strategic reviews of GB (which Labour is proposing)& alongside the new nature recovery strategies which are also being managed strategically
A key problem with the #GreenBelt debate is the generalisation of all #GreenBelt & #Brownfield land. My recent research shows the supply of natures benefits vary significantly. Recent work by @PaulPrestonEnv also shows the importance of brownfield land. Context is key! Links ⬇️
I'm very happy to start as a lead editor of @PaN_BES in May. Within short time, this young journal has become a central part of the social-ecological research community. I look forward to collaborating w/ @KevinJGaston, @KaiChanUBC, @SBPartelow, @AndreaRawluk & R. Fish.

@MattKirby_ @GeoMapperJo @Prof_AJScott @NUGeog @ONEPlanetDTP @YESS_Network @ESPartnership Great work Matt.
@RichardBlyth7 @MattKirby_ I'm hoping we may get breathing space to advocate positively for (a) wildbelt again, though been much diverted into advocating against #AttackOnNature &c since 2020 ... wildlifetrusts.org/blog/sue-young… Assumption Green Belt = wildlife in recent Greater Manchester metro-mayoral hustings
@MattKirby_ Which is why we need Local Environment Improvement Plans which are informed by spatial Plans over wider areas.
Time for a grown-up debate about GB - how we review it (strategically), where we should prioritise affordable housing & how we can make GB more 'green' - sweat it's assets. Well done @UKLabour @mtpennycook for getting this vital debate started.
A smarter approach to the release of green belt land is essential to building the homes our country needs. Labour will prioritise the development of low-quality ‘grey belt’ sites and impose ‘golden rules’ to ensure it always meets local housing need. thetimes.co.uk/article/0fb2b9…
