Mark Pritchard, has called upon new home builders to “build wildlife” into future new home designs.
Speaking at Communities and Local Government questions in the House of Commons, the MP told Communities Secretary, Eric Pickles MP, that Britain's common bird population was in sharp decline and that new home builders had a role in restoring bird populations.
The MP commented later: “Communities are enhanced by wildlife and birdlife. However, many bird populations are in sharp decline. New home builders, could at low cost, help to restore local bird populations - not only through design but also by not felling healthy trees or greenfields.”
