Whatever views may be held on Brexit per se, I think people reading hear all have a concern to ensure that the UK doesn't lose its good standards of heritage protection - specifically the Principle that the funding to mitigate impacts of modern development should originate from the developer- as either part of the overall project cost (as currently done here) or even via central bodies funded by 'development levies' (as done some other countries).
Excellent idea that "polluter pays".
Please read the open letter from Rescue, and I hope you agree that UK heritage probably is better off with 'polluter pays' principle than without.

Now... with Germany's vast expansion of Fossil Fuel use and France's expansion of Fossil Fuel use... will they stump up for environmental damage to their neighbours?
Maybe/
Germany started their vast Fossil Fuel use expansion years ago and have kept it up. They are only going to get worse.
