A charity’s warning historic parks and gardens are ‘at risk’ under proposed changes to planning rules.

The Gardens Trust says the government’s deciding whether to remove its input in the planning process in England.

A new report shows 90% of people are concerned that government plans to build 1.5 million new homes could threaten green spaces.

Linden Groves, who’s worked on projects at Painshill Park, Claremont and Chiswick House gardens, is the charity’s director.
