Noted Surrey colony of at-risk swifts destroyed during nesting season
A key nesting site for red-listed UK swifts at Regent House near Dorking, Surrey, was demolished during their March-August nesting season by contractors for Hill Group, as part of Clarion Housing Association's 126-flat development. Conservationists allege a breach of the Wildlife and Countryside Act due to the lack of required pre-demolition ecological checks; Mole Valley District Council has issued a temporary stop notice and is investigating potential planning control breaches, while campaigners highlight systemic weaknesses in wildlife protection enforcement amid development projects.
