Amendments 109 to 111, tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay, seek to commence provisions in the Levelling-up and Regeneration Act 2023 around special regard duties and historic environment records. The Government are considering the implementation of these measures in the context of our wider planning reforms, noting, of course, that primary legislation is not required to bring either measure into effect. I can confirm that the Government have committed to consult on a suite of national policies for decision-making before the end of this year, and as part of that process we will consider our approach to planning policy for heritage in the round.
