• Which protected habitats developers won’t need to enhance as part of the new rules requiring development to boost biodiversity. 
• Why two councils are urging housing secretary Michael Gove to block a 1,000-home scheme due to concerns about the water supply.
• The latest on local-plan-making progress: which have been delayed, and which have been restarted.
• PLUS, we round up the other key news stories from the past fortnight.
