Labour’s flagship(旗舰级的、最重要的) planning reforms allow damage to protected habitats and species to be overlooked if developers pay into a central nature restoration fund, which is used for conservation actions at a later date. These environmental delivery plans (EDPs) have been called “cash to trash” by critics, who say they roll back decades of environmental law and are a “licence to kill nature”.(这些“环境交付计划”(EDPs)被批评者称为“金钱换垃圾”,他们表示这些计划使数十年的环境法倒退,是“自然杀戮许可证”。)

The Norfolk Broads, a heavily protected biodiversity hotspot that is home to more than a quarter of the UK’s rarest plants and animals, is the guinea pig for the first EDP.(诺福克湖区是受严格保护的生物多样性热点地区,英国超过四分之一的珍稀动植物在此栖息,如今却成为首个EDP的“实验品”。) Developers will pay £2,675 per house – £42m in total – and in return get permission to build 15,780 new homes in the Broads.
