Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

This is another sentence that speaks to the risk, in the Government’s view, that EDPs will be challenged if they do not identify every conceivable impact of a development on any conceivable environmental feature. The drafting goes too far, because technically it would allow the environmental impacts on an environmental feature to be ignored, and the EDP would therefore be flawed.
