      I had to click on this link just to see what a swift brick was. I figured it was a brick that would fly swiftly when you threw it at someone. But now I know it’s something that benefits birds. Bravo.

      Just because you have to build them into the building by law doesn’t mean the hole has to remain when you buy the house and could easily be filled in with expanding foam or replacing the brick.

      Good intentions and all that.

      If you have nesting boxes you need to clean them out of dead baby birds and bugs after the birds have fledged. Who is going to clean these out?

      This is one of those laws that sounds nice and cuddly, but is also the reason why things like HS2 end up going massively overbudget and overschedule, because they have to carry out endless risk assessments on how the project will affect hedgehog populations or whatever else. It’s basically impossible for Britain to build anything in a sensible timeframe and without the budget ballooning because of legislation like this. Not that *this* law is particularly egregious in itself, but it’s part of a wider pattern of well-intentioned lawmaking that is leaving us economically stagnant.
