Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

Natural England’s green infrastructure framework also includes specific guidance for developers on how to support biosecurity. Features for wildlife are already being rolled out across the country. The Future Homes Hub has 29 housebuilders—including Barratt, Taylor Wimpey and Persimmon—signed up to its Homes for Nature scheme, which is a voluntary commitment to install a bird-nesting brick or box and hedgehog highway for every new home built. The scheme represents a large chunk of the market, as in total these companies built more than 100,000 homes in 2022-23.
