Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 September 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

In recent debates, we have not heard a great deal about green infrastructure. Green infrastructure should be the norm for homes and communities, not just concrete infrastructure. A national register of significant sustainable drainage systems needs to be developed to inform decisions and prioritise action. The proposal in the National Planning Policy Framework on maintenance responsibility for green infrastructure should be firmed up in the way that the national standards outline.
