Elsewhere the 'nutrient neutrality' debate continues - Chris Loder MP for West Dorset attacked Natural England's purchase of the Lyscombe Farm (whch includes an SSSI) with money that will be recouped from house builders needing to buy nutrient credits in the Poole Harbour catchment. Mr Loder, already infamous for his views on White-tailed Eagles, Haliaetus albicilla, claimed without evidence that the Lyscombe purchase (which means Dorset Wildlife Trust take on the site as a nature reserve) 'will enable' a controversial urban extension to Dorchester.
