Charities accused Ciring of Cair Spider Jumping Spider claims
Protection Charity has accused the Prime Minister Sir Kir starrer of “misleading” claims that rare spiders had stopped creating a new city.
Sir Kir has talked about that those who believe that there is unnecessary “blocked” by regulators and other bodies, which he says that he is holding back the construction of the house.
The government has promised to build 1.5 million houses in the next five years.
He has used the example of EBBSFLET at Kent, where he said “the dream of home ownership for thousands of families was” back by Arachnids “.
A rare species of Spider, known as “reputed jumping spider”, was found in the area, which was given environmental protection to restrict the building.
Those security meant that 1,300 houses could not be constructed.
But more than 4,000 houses are built in other parts of EBBSFLET and thousands of more plans.
The Kent Wildlife Trust has accused Sir Keir of “oversightfollow” and said that he has “incorrectly presented this complex issue”.
Charity is planning to write directly to the Prime Minister along with other conservation groups to complain.
The EBBSFLEET Garden City has been under development since 2015 and is being built on 2,500 acres of brownfield land in Temes Muhana on 2,500 acres.
Writing in daily telegraph On Thursday, Sir Kir said the project was to “construct more than 15,000 new houses” with “17 -minute movement in Central London”.
He wrote that the previous government had bought 125 hectares of industrial land and bought mines to construct houses, but the plan was “blocked by natural England” “due to the discovery of a colony of” “specific jumping spiders”.
He said: “This is nonsense. And we will stop it.”
In a speech in the plow on the same day the same day, Sir Keir again referred to Abbssfate, saying that “Jumping Spider” stopped “a whole new city”.
He said: “I have not created the example, this is where we have found.”
Protection donation says that the characterization is incorrect.
Natural England announced Swanscomb Pennsula in March 2021 as a site of Special Scientific Ruchi (SSSI), where about 1,300 Abbssfate houses were planned.
It is one of the only two sites in the UK which is the home of prestigious jumping Spider.
Small organisms are only millimeters in size and thrive in debris and subsequent industrial environment.
It is understood that Sir Kir was using the example to create a broad point, but conservation charity has expressed disappointment over their clear lack of accuracy.
Jamie Robins from Charity Bugslif said: “It is misleading and wrong to make false claims about the seriously jumping spiders ‘a whole new city’.”
He said that it “reduces public confidence in important security and binding commitments that we have for the role of nature and natural England that helps it to flourish”.
Emma Waller from the Kent Wildlife Trust said: “All of SSSI, where 1,300 (houses) were planned, are important housing that we cannot take the risk of losing the bus.”
“We should move beyond the story of ‘Nature vs. Vikas’. Sustainable development, which respects and integrates the natural environment, benefits both people and wildlife.”
A spokesperson of the RSPB said: “Time and again we are hearing about the places that are happy to concrete the Prime Minister, yet there is silence on the houses that should be saved from development”.
