Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill

I declare my interests as a farmer who deals with SSSIs and nature reserves. This name, which has been explained as natural yoghurt among other things, sticks in my gullet. English Nature, as it is now called, spends most of its time asking to alter the countryside. Therefore, I can hardly see how you can go about doing business with it in enhancing the countryside. The name ““Natural England”” gives you the feeling that it is conserving something that has never changed in history.
