Every week, the ENDS team enters the ECO Chamber to discuss the UK’s biggest green news stories, and bring you up to speed on the latest developments in environmental policy.

• The big announcements laid bare in the government’s new Planning and Infrastrucutre Bill, including its new nature levy.
• 
  

Plus, how Walleys Quarry's owes the EA £600,000, the government's big plans for the North Sea transition away from fossil fuels, and the North Sea tanker collision.
