Swift Bricks: New Rule for England's Homes
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
Swift Bricks to be Mandatory in New English Homes: A Step Towards Protecting Endangered SwiftsThe UK government announces a new planning rule requiring swift bricks in new homes, aiming to boost dwindling swift populations. These bricks provide essential nesting spots for migratory swifts, whose numbers have plummeted by 66% since 1995 due to modern construction methods. Critics argue that other proposed changes could weaken broader biodiversity rules, but the government insists on a win-win approach for development and environment.
