Delays to a statutory review of the Western Swamp Tortoise protection plan are impacting landowners and housing availability.

Landowners haven't had a say on tortoise protection policy for 15 years due to review delays.
Review delays may hinder housing development due to oversized buffer zones.
“Should the review not take place until 2026 it will be over 15 years since the landowners have had any opportunity to make comment or request a change to their own land.”
