Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 September 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

Therefore, while I thank noble Lords for their amendments, there is existing legislation in place to protect vulnerable species and that, combined with the measures in the National Planning Policy Framework, means that we remain of the view that planning policy is the best mechanism to ensure that development proposals consider wildlife. Therefore, I kindly ask the noble Lord to withdraw his amendment.
