Our views on industry

Working closely with developers, we help prevent damaging industrial developments going ahead in the wrong places - saving sensitive sites and important places for nature.

Industry megasites

The Humber Estuary

The Humber is an internationally important place for wildlife but it is under pressure from industry, sea level rise and recreational disturbance.

Industry cases

Crowthorne

The owners of a site adjacent to the internationally important Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area are proposing a major redevelopment, including plans for a business park and 975 houses.

Hunterston Power Station

Plans for a new coal-fired power station at Hunterston threatens to destroy part of the largest mudflat on the Ayrshire coast.

Lake Natron

Three-quarters of the world population of lesser flamingos live and nest in East Africa. All depend on Tanzania's Lake Natron as a breeding site, which is threatened by a large scale soda ash development.

Tana River Delta

One of the most important wetlands in Africa is in danger of drowning under a plethora of proposed developments.

Able UK on the South Humber Gateway

We have concerns about a proposal for a massive 370 ha port-related storage facility on the South Humber Gateway.

Able Marine Energy Park

Able UK's marine energy park will destroy 55ha of the Humber estuary that internationally important wildlife relies on. We need your support to fight for a better approach.

Trory Bay, Lower Lough Erne

Trory Bay in Lower Lough Erne (LLE), Fermanagh is one of the few remaining bays that remain relatively free from any form of development. Without any nature conservation protection for LLE it is under continuous development pressure.

Rosyth International Container Terminal

We are actively supporting Scottish Natural Heritage's objection to a new development that could cause significant harm to the Firth of Forth Special Protection Area.
