UKELA Annual Garner Lecture live event

Students for Surrey Law School attended a live streaming of the UK Environmental Law Association's Annual Garner Lecture by Baroness Young of Scone on 25 November 2025. 

Baroness Young highlighted the threats posed to biodiversity and ecosystems by the government's current Infrastructure and Planning Bill, especially Section 3. However, Baroness Young was also optimistic that a new Land Use Framework would give England the ability to balance land use interests more effectively at a more local level in a more transparent and participatory manner.
